Maybe this should go in machinery talk but thought I'd try here in case there are any who have had similar problems with the reddy heater. For several winters now it has been really hard to ignite when it gets cold. Like below 0F degrees. The only way I could get it to light was by unscrewing the top cover and opening it up. Then it fires up instantly but burns pretty rich with a flame as I guess there is insufficient air to the nozzle without the hood. Set the hood back on and try it again and it fires right up fine. I can use it this way but its a nuisance having to unscrew the cover every time to fire it up. I've tried air pressure adjustments but it was not the real fix. Talked to a guy with an older John Deere heater that has the same problem.
