Re: Hydro Flame furnace main burner not lighting
Got it fixed! Just a quick update to let others who encounter a similar problem know what I found. My problem wasn't any obstructions with the furnace burner or a bad thermocouple. It appears that my specific problem was the orifice. I couldn't remove the orifice itself, so I just cleaned the whole pilot bracket containing the orifice in alcohol & even sprayed it with carb cleaner. After I reinstalled, the main burner kicked right on when I turned the dial up.610Views0likes0CommentsRe: Hydro Flame furnace main burner not lighting
The local RV dealer gave me a thermal couple to try. Switched it out & still no main burner. Not sure if it makes any difference or not, but the furnace originally had an aluminum thermal couple & the one they gave me was a copper one to try. Any difference? I also removed the lower burner access door tonight & inspected the burner box for any obstructions such as wasp nests....didn't find anything other than a few pine needles & cleaned them out. Took off the pilot bracket to try to get to the orifice, but I couldn't get the orifice out, so I will plan on soaking it in alcohol overnight. Thanks again for everybody's input & help....hopefully I can figure it out & it is something other than replacing the entire valve unit.610Views0likes0CommentsHydro Flame furnace main burner not lighting
I have an older 70's Red Dale camper with a Hydro Flame furnace (Model #ARS-10R) the main burner won't light. The furnace has no blower/fan & it doesn't have a wall thermostat setting. There is no problem getting the pilot light lite, but when I turn the setting knob in the furnace on higher, it does nothing. Any ideas what might be the problem that is keeping the main burner from lighting?2.8KViews0likes9CommentsRe: Hallmark vs. Jayco vs. Four Wheel
I have a 1-ton chassis cab flatbed dually. It is the truck that I use for all my towing...regardless if it is a stock trailer, flatbed full of hay or my 39' Raptor toy hauler. Thanks for your input camperfamily & Earl E...there is one of the campers that is in very good condition. You would never guess that it was a 30 year old camper.452Views0likes0CommentsHallmark vs. Jayco vs. Four Wheel
I am looking for an older pop up for my truck & found several of these models in my area...all made in 1987 (Hallmark, Jayco Sportster & Four Wheel Grandby. They are all about in similar condition. I can find quite a bit of information on the newer built brands, but not much on older. Can anybody give me some information on the older ones. Is one of these built better than the other? Which one will do better in cooler weather? Any other information is appreciated.3.5KViews0likes9Comments
