Ok so I was wondering how does the start up procedure go for the espar heater behind the driver seat in my 710k go.
I pull the knob on the dash out all the way. It's getting gas and the blower runs. Is the choke looking thing on the heater itself a choke or is that for temp control...more gas more heat? It seems to run nice but after letting it run for only a min or two it doesn't seem to be putting out very warm air.....so I am wondering am I starting this up right...maybe the plug is bad? Looking for ideas or suggestion....no experience at all with these
Thanks

Mine gets very warm within a minute. Yes the red knob is to increase output and the side vent determines fresh air or recirculated air.

Re: 710k espar heater
The heater has a safety switch that is prone to nuisance trips. Remove the cover by unscrewing the knurled knob on top, and there is a button or switch to press on the back side of the heater. I've had to do that a couple of times over the years to get my heater to fire up. It's the fastest and easiest thing to try.

Re: 710k espar heater
So I'm thinking its either the glow plug or spark plug....I know I can get the spark plug at SAV but what about the glow plug? Anyone know how to test these two components?
Re: 710k espar heater
For any one who cares (please remember I am still quite new to the Pinz) I started simple and checked for spark and that was good. I found that I was not getting fuel on the other end of the silver thing (condenser?) that the fuel line goes into on top of the heater. So I took that off and took it apart...swore at it...blasted it with the air compressor and put it on stage by stage and was then getting fuel....fired right up and works like a charm.
Thanks for all the advise
