Hi, I can't find anything with the model # you have listed. Is this a torpedo type heater? If so, remove the top of the heater and turn the fan by hand. It should be fairly easy to turn. Next with the top still off, turn the heater on and make sure the igniter is working. If that is OK then use a flash light to check for fuel spraying from the nozzle. Watch out for the fan. If it isn't, check the fuel nozzle for blockage. If you remove it and hold it up to a light, you should be able to see light through the hole. If not, use a small wire or something to remove the blockage. If that is OK, check the fuel filter. You may be able to clean it or you can replace it if necessary. If this doesn't get it, you need to check the air pressure going to the fuel nozzle. On the back of the fan motor there is a filter cover with 2 plugs in it. One of the plugs has a hole in the center and is used to adjust the air pressure. The other plug is where you can install a pressure guage to check the pressure. I can't tell you what the pressure should be because I can't find anything with your model #. It may, however, be listed on the data label on your heater.
If your heater isn't a torpedo type heater, none of this will make any sense. Let me know what type it is if it isn't the torpedo type.
fuel pressure could too high you could have a cracked rubber hose on the pump sucking air start with fuel pressure and that will help us to get started
your nozzle is plugged.to clean the nozzle you take the cover off,slide the motor out of it's slots and push it to the rear of the unit,remove the air line and fuel line,remove the three 3 screws holding the nozzle assy. on.once you have the nozzle assy. out you will see a brass nozzle on the inside,put nozzle assy. in vise to hole it.take 5/8" socket and remove the nozzle from holder.take the nozzle holder out of vise and put brass nozzle in vise.do not put a lot of pressure on it or you'll bend it.by the way pointy end down so you can take the nozzle apart.once you have the nozzle in vise,take a pair of plyers and carefully remove the inside of nozzle,it doesn't take a lot of pressure to turn the inside.just loosen it don't take it apart yet....remove it from vise and turn it uside down so pointy end is now facing up.rotate it over the work bench so you don't drop the piece that's inside.very tiny piece..... that the nozzle,it rotates inside to make the spray pattern.look through it and see if you can see light throught it.take an air nozzle and carefully blow through it....both ways.look again and see if it's clear.once it is replace everything in reverse order.do not put much pressure on the inside piece of nozzle when you tighten back in with the plyers.hope this helps........let me know
