Lawn Boy Kerosene Torpedo Heater, ph100 it sort of spits and sputters, on and off there is flame coming out at output end of heater for a second or so. There appears to be some sort of light at the electrical end of the machine that goes out at the same time there is flame, it's on when there is no flame. the heater continues to run when this happens. I've increased and decrease run pressure but doesn't help.

First thing is to download the service manual.

You need to make sure the filters are clean and that you are getting the proper air pump pressure.

If the units starts up and runs good and slowly goes out it will normally be due to a lack of fuel getting to the nozzle. When there is not enough fuel being delivered to the nozzle from either a clogged fuel filter of dirty air pump output filter the unit will slowly shut down from lack of fuel.

If the unit shuts down while it is running properly and the nose come is orange then you probably have a problem with a photocell or the flame out control.

If you have other questions you can contact our service department at 269-685-4125 at extension 224
