Do you know what the item number is in would need to look for when I stop at Lowe's? Been to two parts stores and all they could say is here are the clips we have
@@tjsr5884 Sorry, I got the info from the video or comments. Check those out -- I can't remember and don't have the Lowe's order info to refer to at this point.
This is the exact fix I needed. My truck was missing the bumpers so ordered them from Dorman on Amazon but came with the same clips you show which are too small for the truck holes. Heading to Lowes tomorrow for the new clips! Thanks Chris!!
I have seen these come new from the factory with the wick installed too high also causing the large orange bad flame out the top even with adjusting the lever to the low side. Its pretty easy to reinstall the wicks though, once you have done it once it takes about 5 min.
This particular heater is quite good, the tall chimney impresses me. I see you removed the ignitor and left the hole open. This will be a huge air leak.
The igniter should not be parting the wick. This causes an uneven burn. keep it away from the wick. KeroSun heaters always pivoted the igniter into the wick ONLY for ignition. The cheaper Chinese heaters are poorly designed so apparently the igniter has to be inside the wick to light. The air bleed holes are precisely matched to the burn for controlled air flow. Removing the igniter introduces too much extra air to the burn that causes the flame to go yellow and smoke. Whether the igniter is used or not, the hole must be closed off with either the igniter or something else to restore the correct air flow. You do not remove the chimney to start the heater. All that does is create a lot of smoke and causes carbon on the wick and catalytic converter. Tip the chimney backwards and light the wick. When lit, tilt the chimney forward and center it on the base. You should never have flames extending above the catalytic converter in the chimney. Only raise the wick until the entire catalytic converter is glowing red. This is the correct operating condition for a catalytic converter kerosene heater. The original wick is fine. Replace and remove fuel tank. Burn the heater until the fuel is used up. This cleans the wick. Then use a flat blade screwdriver to scrape the wick lands on each side of the wick to remove any carbon build up. Same with the bottom of the catalytic converter chimney perforated tubes.
There are ppl on RU-vid saying to replace the original wick w a cotton wick and burn #2 diesel w a few oz 91 percent isopropyl alcohol. The uls diesel has less sulphur than k1. Any thoughts on this from anyone?
@@dannypresson4815 This might work if the cotton wick can survive the heat. I've never tried it because I already catch hell for burning kerosene in the house. Watch out for carbon monoxide and good luck finding a cotton wick. Old flame-spreader heaters like perfection heater used cotton wicks, not sure if anyone burned diesel in them. My experiment burning kerosene in a cotton-wicked oil lamp didn't go well, tons of soot and smell.
Informative video. Thank you. I'll probably will be using it as a guide soon. I have the same heater new and had the same initial flame problem. The yellow flame rose out the top of the chimney on one side even w the wick low. I exchanged the heater for another of the same model. Haven't tried it out yet.
My apologies for not including more of the disassembly details. The heater is my father-in-law’s and I mainly filmed the steps I took in order for him to be able see what I did. He had already taken it apart once so including those steps seemed duplicative. If you have any questions about those steps feel free to ask and I’ll type them out real quick.
Hey Danny. Same issue. We have two HeatMate HMN-110s and one RedStone - 10,000 BTU Radiant Kerosene Heater. They're pretty much identical. Everything looks the same. Only difference is the RedStone is a black. The other two HMN-110s are several years old and I've changed the wicks on all of them. They all seem to have that issue where the yellow flame is sticking up out of one side of the chimney. I think it does that because the wick is a little high on one side and the other side is lower. But I've tried my best to get it leveled but still I get this issue. When I first bought the RedStone, the flame never poked out of the chimney because the factory installed the wick. It ran flawlessly. I also noticed that it doesn't matter if you install the wick kind of low or high, the chimney always looks the same when it's fully lit. I am only able to turn it down only a fraction of the way but it doesn't really help. On one of the HMN-110s, the lever was acting kid of funny and I noticed that if I held the lever while lifting the tank up a bit and then dropping the tank back down, I was fully able to adjust the height of the flame as I wished. No idea why it was acting like that but now it's back to acting normally. But my question is, what can I stick just above the lever to keep it in place while I change the tank? I have thought about sticking puddy in there to hold it down but what would you recommend?
@@AlkaiserNeo thank you for that information. I haven't yet set up the new one but I suspect that I'll have the same problem. Why would Redstone have this issue when they all come from the same place? I'll have to tinker w it a while. A new anything should work right out of the box. I wish I had more to offer but if I find some useful info I'll share it.
Jiggle the chimney and the oem wicks are too thin (chinsy) for good burn control. An aftermarket replacement wick should be slightly thicker and fit the inner draft tube much better and still slide up/down without binding.
@@AlkaiserNeook I have a springlike day so I'm dealing w this heater. I fired it up and got the same yellow over flame as before. I pushed the lever up and the flame reduced to perhaps normal but then I accidentally shut the heater off. I'll do a restart in a bit.
I mean seems like you should not own a kero heater you’re doing everything wrong did you read the instructions you put a brand new wick in it and immediately lit it HUGE mistake you have let the wick soak up fuel for at least an hour stop using it immediately before you kill yourself 🤦
Thanks for the video. Looks like you have a 25RBHL too. I have been wondering where our water pump was located to find hose for winterizing. Your video is exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate it very much !!
Glad it helped. Yes, same model as yours. It took me a minute or two to locate it - helped to pressurize it and then crawl around listening to it cycle when I cracked open a line. It's nice that they left a lengthy whip of hose to drop into the gallon jug, right?
I think no is the best/simplest answer. You might be able to trigger the sensor to work without a lens mated up to it, but your resulting photo would just be a blast of light hitting it and nothing recognizable as a photo. There are a large number of lenses available in the micro four thirds mount that will fit. Olympus, Panasonic, Sigma, and a few others all make lenses that work. It's a great little camera body, takes very terrific photos, and has enough bells and whistles for even the most advanced of photographers.
@@chriskoran836 Thank you so much for your answer, this is my first mirrorless camera and I thought the lens were optional. Luckily I had a spare Olympus lens when my camera arrived!
You were pretty surprised about the zoom noise right? I have the same problem. I posted it in a German forum and the guys said the zoom has to be smooth and silent.
I found that quite a large number of other members of a camera forum I frequent said the sound was the same on their copy of the lens too. I've been using the lens for months now and it works very well. I guess it just one of the lenses that is louder than others.
EM5 Mark ii better package overall + better looks. Too much plastic this revision. Tripod mount failure common problem. Avoid and do not buy. This is bad really bad. Most likely this will be discontinued like the pen f model. No support whatsoever plus Olympus Camera has been sold off. So caution advised if you thinking about wasting your money.
