I just removed the eye and "spark plug" and both look clean. There must be a
loose wire or something because when i bang it it works and then if a bang
it again it stops, almost like the Fonze. Could it be anything other than a
loose wire?

So is it likely the eye or the electrodes are covered in soot?

FWIW
I use diesel in my torpedo heater all the time. Your breakdown was
just
a coincidence. Mine just needs a cleaning when this happens.

Diesel has more heavy wax in it than kerosene, not as refined a grade. I
use
kerosene as an improved #1 diesel for extreme cold weather starting in
the
John Deere.
