Salamander - torpedo kerosene heater
Hope this is the right spot for this. I have an old Sears branded 50,000btu "salamander" style portable heater that won't stay running. It starts up immediately and runs fine for about 1.5 - 2 minutes, then the restart button snaps out. It will start up again right away, but then shut off within seconds. It is getting fuel and the sparkplug used for igniting looks like new. Any ideas??

Thanks,

Jim
