I have an OLD Kerosene heater (90000 btu/hr.) that belonged to my dad. Brand name is Jim Dandy. I can read a label that says manufactured by Century Engineering Corp., Cedar Rapids Iowa; model # PHO-100 A; serial # 102624.
It has not been operated for 3 years. up until then it worked fine.
Last winter I fired it up. It was taking a while to get it to ignite, and I noticed that there was kerosene "spitting" out the end of the "heater cone" before it would light. I did not use it any more last winter. Decided to try it again before it gets cold here and it did still hesitate to ignite and spitting kerosene before ignition.
I want to see if I can get it running well again, but I can't find brand or parts on the google machine. Any ideas/help would be appreciated on where I may look for parts and maybe what type of parts I should be looking for. Are there may be some other brands that might be similar that I could check.
Thanks, Joe
