Wow good point mr. Gray! The wall kit i used was designed specifically to collect outside air from above the flu as it exits the house. The flu pipe extends 2' from the intake on the outside. In the past 2 days now ive finally not had to scrape and scrape and whine and scrape
! I'm so happy im gettin closer to the correct temp but im still a bit off. The last pic i posted is still representative of today. Looks identical. Hasnt gotten worse but i havent burned up the tar
! Its no longer dripping but i believe it is still forming a weee bit. My exhaust fan however this time was finally just dusty and not coated in tar either! That was a relief to see!!
Good idea with the powder for leaks! Ive already resealed all of the doors and im confident if i had any leaks they should be gone! I actually debated using my work nitrogen machine to smoke test my PB just like we do on car fuel systems
It hasnt resorted to that yet but might do it.....
So to get this far ive removed the 3" corrogated intake tune fromm the intake neck where that gravity flap is on the intake. This simple step has turned my unit from terd to burn! I was studying this flap valve today and i can physically change my draft by .1" just by holding the flap open with a screw driver
The flap is not corroded or dirty. I was debating making a new flap from aluminum but i shouldnt have to mod out a brand new unit
!! The only thing that i can think of that is causing my "rich" condition is that my atmospheric is different from intended design height??? Im at 800' above sea level. Could i be that much off??? I know from carbs if u go 100' u should be compensating so does that play into affect???
The other thing i noticed is that the white porcelain thing aboce the burn pot is flaking away? I know i may have hit it once or twice while cleaning but this thing looks like someone poored acid on it!?
Note that the pic was taken on saturday morn with tar present so excuse the mess.....
I think i may groan to my dealer too about the burn pot too because my unit is brand new and i see my burn pot is not like the ones theyre posting in other chats.... Youd think that if a change was made theyd automatically update all sold I units?!....hmmm....
