My Wrokhorse 65,000 btu heater isnt working and I cant find the owners manaul. Its 2 years old and Ive only gone through about 4 or 5 tanks of fuel in that time (3 gal tank i think). And this year I filled it up and pluged it in, it started up like normal then about 5 min later it kinda spit and sputtered then went out and smoked and it does this now everytime i plug it in. Does anyone know anything about these? I havnt taken anything apart on it yet cause i wanted to ask here first. Does it have a glow plug or fuel filter that can be cleaned or replaced or any other serviceable parts? Also its a multi fuel model meaning i can run 4 diff types of fuel but ive only ran diesiel in it.
Thanks

There is a spark plug in there. I would make sure that you don't have any water in the fuel tank. That will cause it to sputter and the flame to go out. The water will settle to the bottom of the tank and gets into the pickup tube first. Water does not ignite of course.

Mine had a heat sensor go bad in it and the thing wouldn't work more than a minute or two. I wired around it and added a switch to turn it off and on. Hated having to plug and unplug the damn thing. Still working after 5 years Had it for about 15 years so far.
