[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 396745, member: 367"] Those buggers are more finicky right out of the box than any old wore out heater or furnace Iv'e ever owned. Only used mine a couple times and it went back in the box and stored inside. During the cold spell Iast week I tried it and it worked good for a few min and quit and wouldn't light again. Watched a few more videos and warmed it up and it lit again and my pilot light had a nice big blue flame hitting the thermocoupler so I thought that can't be my problem and besides, it's brand new. I watch more videos and bypassed the tilt switch. Worked for 1/2 hour and same thing. since it was 30 below I thought lines might have moisture and freezing up so warmed it up tried it again and worked for 1/2 hour and quit. tore it all down again blew air through all the lines . put it together and ran for another 30 min and quit again. About this time I was ready to throw it in the reserve pit but finally thought I better try the qtip trick so I did and hardly any dirt at all on qtip and the pilot flame looked exactly the same afterwards but tried it again and it's been working perfectly every since.
