LP Issue: heater and stove won't light

My 30# tank has plenty of propane and hooks up easily. I can't light either my heater or my cook stove. Can't smell propane either and it's not an issue with a shutoff. It's been in storage since March.

Do you think my line is blocked or is it a problem with the regulator? Thanks!

It could be just some air in the line. What I usually do if I have air in the line is craqck the nut by the burner and open the line to let the air out and gas fill the line. Then when you tighten the nut back up, let the gas fumes clear and lite the pilot.

I just had the same problem with mine last night. It took me a while to figure out. This may not be the problem with yours but it sounds the same. Ya know the temp sensor that the pilot light heats to maintain gas flow. This thing was so cold that it completely shut off the gas to the to pilot even with the knob pushed in that is supposed to let gas flow wheather it is cold or not. I heated the sensor up with a tourch and after that it started right away. You may need to purge air out as previously stated also.

UPDATE: I unscrewed the gas line from the heater and left it alone for a couple of minutes with the gas turned on. Once I could smell a little gas, I hooked it back up. I then was able to light the heater and stove but they don't burn nearly as good as last year. If I turn all 4 burners on full throttle, they barely burn. It might have something to do with the regulator. My regulator has a tiny vent that is pushing out propane. If I put my finger over the vent, I can feel the flow and it makes a wisssshhh sound.

Any ideas what my problem is? I'll google it in the mean time. Thanks!

I replaced the regulator and everything works great again. It was a hole in the diaphram. The guy at the gas supply place said to be sure to cap the line in the off season. Bugs can get in there and do damage.

Thanks Scott and everyone else.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
