Yes, conventional consumer fuel station pump type diesel. Also need to mention this was electrically powered off my truck slave port, as it was idling, so Vdc>24. I am also starting the unit on "high", which is not per the manual. But once apart, it is clear that the fuel needs to saturate the...

I ran those numbers this morning, after the unit sat outside overnight, in the rain, with the covers off of both the control box and heater top (fuel control area). My dumb fault. I wasn't expecting good results, but wanted to run the heater to dry it out before I moved it inside anyway. Here...

Absolutely. Free for you bud. Cost anybody else a 12 of Corona's and 3 limes.

...and a pic of the carbon encrusted fuel tube which I believe was the issue:

....and, we have IGNITION! Thanks to all that input here. I did not really want to become an expert on these, but it is what it is, there is not a piece I have not went through at this point. I disassembled the burner, and found the tip to be clogged with chunks of carbon. Cleaned them all...

Flame switch tested good, and its adjustment seems good. I have fuel pressure into the regulator block, and fuel appeared when I loosen the copper tube on the outlet side of the regulator block when the solenoid is clicking. It is all there and working, I think it is just not enough fuel flow...

Thanks. 10-4 on the blower running at a reduced rate, and also the purge run after flame is out. Both of those are working correctly, and yesterday I adjusted the flame switch to insure it, prior to testing (1/2 turn CW after click when cold). So is the error a mistake in just the TM, or...

Thanks everybody for sticking with me. Not that it matters, but I don't think "Hi" is locked out during a start. The fuel solenoid clicks twice as fast on Hi as it does "Lo", even during a start attempt. I am keying into this because maybe it is an indicator that something else is still...

I pulled the glow plug. It looks like new. I need to confirm it works, but it ohmed out ok. The wick looks new, but was bone dry. I'm going to pour some fuel down the glow plug hole as a prime to saturate the wick, and try it again. 5F outside right now, let's see what happens... I have...

So I have new updates. The heater will not light off, and I have fuel flowing out of the regulator block, but it is not flowing out of the exhaust, even after several attempts of 2 minute start attempts each. I need to pull the copper injection tube and the glow plug assembly. So after...

Got the fuel injection solenoid working. SW had 2 leads reversed on the electronics board. I didn't see detailed connection about this in the TM, but I reversed 2 that could easily be swapped mistakenly, and it atarted clicking, double rate on high, so I think that part is ok now. Should be...

Be patient, I am going throught it all now. I didn't want to be an expert on this, but it is heading that way. The fuel metering block has a heating element with a snap type thermostatic switch in series with it. The thermostat is supposed to open at 70F. It looks like that may not be...

All good points. Thanks team. Have been reading the manual so now ready to try your suggestions as well as check components.

Anybody have experience working with the SW 60k BTU fuel fired heaters? I have one that won't light. Power and fans are ok, but when held in start position, I don't see or feel the fuel solenoid clicking, and smoke comes from the fuel pressure regulating chamber, seems there is a heater in...
