If the Big Max shop heater 75,000 BTU won't light, there are several things that you can check:

  1. Make sure that the propane tank is full and properly connected to the heater. Check for any leaks in the gas line.
  2. Check the pressure regulator to ensure that it is working properly.
  3. Check the igniter to ensure that it is sparking properly. If not, clean or replace it as needed.
  4. Check the gas valve to ensure that it is opening properly when it receives the 24-volt signal. If not, replace it with a new one.
  5. Check the thermocouple to ensure that it is functioning properly. If it is not, it may be preventing the gas valve from opening.
If you have already replaced the gas valve and the problem persists, you may want to consider contacting a professional technician for further diagnosis and repair.

Dear sir i have a empire/corcho 1500 btu heater and i have a 70 gallon tank of propane tank but the heater says natural gas can i do this or do i have to use a conversion kit and do i do that and where do...

First off, yes you can convert it to propane. The difference is that the orifice, which should be in the conversion kit, has a smaller hole for the gas to pass through and needs to be changed. Secondly, the air consumption on propane is greater than that of natural gas and for that reason you need to open the air venturi, usually to the max to allow the largest amount of air to enter. Don't overlook the pilot light as well, it also needs to have a different orifice installed. You can find new orifices and/or conversion kits at the store where you buy your propane, assuming it's not a big box retailer. Go to a local propane supply location for the parts. Another option is to go directly to the manufacturers home page and order the propane orifices.

I just cleaned my jets on my purex mini max plus 400 heater. It is heating great now but has black smoke coming from the top. I think it is rich and is getting too much gas. Is there an adjustment or do i...

First have you always had this connected to propane? There are different models for natural gas and for propane.If you connect a natural gas to propane the "jets" are way too big for propane. How did you clean the jets? IF you "drilled" them out they may be too large now. If you have adjusted the gas regulator, decrease gas pressure. I believe this unit has a combustion blower, be sure it is debris free on inlet and in fan, check for leaves. Make sure black smoke is not coming from debris built up inside of heater. Here is a link to a location for the complete manual for your heater: http://lawnandgarden.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/pentair_pool_products/400k_btu_hr.html

Can i convert my dyna glo 75000 btu propane

I'm sure you can, contact the manufacturer and ask if they have a natural gas jet or orfice for your model heater, these are usually very easy to replace.
