|
|
Clicking sound when on. Traced it to where the hose connection to the stove
Is that normal? Like it is sucking the fuel with each click. Very annoying when trying to sleep
Also it makes a fluttering sound sometimes when I first turn it on. Like it wants to light but can’t. What would cause that? I turn it off then back on and it usually works but it concerns me
Is there a better heater/cooking stove than a wallas? |

It is a solenoid fuel pump (type used on many cars, only smaller) Each "click" is the solenoid pulling fuel in to the burner. As the burner lights, it will have the fluttering sound. All very normal. You become used to the "normal" sounds on boats--and hopefully when you "hear" the abnormal, you wake up and take action.
Turn a fan on to distribute the warm air in the V bunk area--it also masks the. noise of the stove. _________________ Bob Austin
