Default Kerosene space heaters

You need to ground the threaded part of the plug to the CASE of
the transformer.

I have come to the conclusion that it must be a bad coil. The coil has 2
wires coming out of it and the lead for the spark plug. If I hook the 2
wires up to the black and white wires of 3 prong plug and the the green of
the plug to the threaded portion of the spark plug and then the lead of the
coil to the plug should the plug continously fire when pluged into a 110
volt outlet.

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

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 (snip)


I did not read the original post, but I just fixed my sputtering
Lawnboy by replacing the O-ring in the jet. Runs GREAT now!
