 Now that it is officially winter it gets kind of cold down in the grouch cave , I have a reddy heater i use to take the chill off if I am fooling around with something .Well the heater started acting wonky. It would run ok at first , then start smoking and cut out. Last week when I was at the Big Box lumber store I grabbed a filter kit and tore it apart and replaced the air and fuel filters and cleaned out the orifice . Put it all back together and ...  No Bueno no fire no smoke no heat nothing . Hmmmm  well it was more than kinda chilly down there at that point , my fingers were numb and I was tired and crabby. I declared a temporary stalemate and retreated to warmer climes to regroup. I went down today refreshed and determined to find a solution )(Especially after researching the price of a replacement unit) I dug out the workmate so I did not have to stand on my head to work on it, redissembled it and found I had not gotten the fuel nozzle put back together tight . I snugged the whole mess down and put everything back where it belonged and lo and behold   ... lovely warm air !!  BWAHA HA HA VICTORY IS MINE !! Feels like I saved a few hundred bucks not having to buy a new one.
