    Flame heater removal progress check

    The only thing I can think of is that by pointing in toward the firewall might prevent any kind of fine particles getting forced into the small hole in the atomizer and plugging it. Houdel, can you look and see where your arrow is pointing?

    Finished the kit install today. Before I hooked the line to the atomizer I verified it was shooting ether by placing the hose on the side morror arm and from the cab activated the toggle and when I released it she fired! You can hear a click when it activates. I placed the ground wire on the...

    It was too cold and windy for me to get back to the truck project. I would say you got the wrong one, mine is correct with both mil style connectors and where yours has a red plug mine has the fitting for the tube. Thanks for the hints on drilling! I will try and get it mounted tomorrow. I...

    Flame heater removal progress check

    There was no filter on my hose and there was no cover either. I believe there are three types of flame heaters, sounds like we have different units, somewhere here I thought there was a link to the three different types, I know one does not have a cover. The only filter I know of is the fuel...

    The kit is made by Quick Start, the kit is around $150.00 and is made to replace the flame heater. It sure is nice getting all that extra stuff off the top of the engine, and alot less potential fuel leaks. Qucik start kit number was posted earlier, just do a search for quick start. They are...

    Flame heater removal progress check

    The line going to my flame heater is on the bottom of the IP, not the side. Looking at your diagram if you look closely at the bottom front of the pump you can see a large hex head plug that is solid. On my pump the center is threaded for a fittting and this is where the plastic hose from the...

    Flame heater removal progress check

    I am removing the flame heater in order to install the either start kit. The kit came with three plugs to plug off flame heater parts removed. So far I have removed and plugged the two ports on the intake elbow, re-used the jam nut on the plug for the fuel nozzle opening. The final plug goes...
