Lawnboy? Man, that thing is old! Keep it running cause they don't make 'em that good anymore.

Check to see if the Ignition Device (transformer, spark box) is getting 110v. This box must have a good ground to the frame. If not, the unit will not produce a spark at the plug. If it does have a good ground, then the part must be replaced. The current replacement part is 102482-01

R60 unit only runs for about 5 -10 secounds. Glow

It shound like it could be a defective safety control or photocell, and possibly a loose wire. You can also check for restricted fuel flow--due to blocked nozzel, seal leak, or a filter needing to be replaced. You can go on www.desatech.com and they have service manuals that will help you step by step. I hope this helps!!

CAN I PUT DIESEL IN MY KERO REDDY HEATER 150,000

since the combustion temp of diesel is different from KERO, expect the heater to shut down from overheating at times.
since it will probably heat up faster than on KERO.
