------------------

If you need gas heater parts, I have some BN4 and BN2 stuff.
I may also have several complete BN4 heater systems for the type 2.

There are several web pages out there describing gas heater retrofits.  Just
do a goggle search.

Bench test the heater and set the mixture for your elevation.  The BN4
heater uses a metering fuel pump
to control the mixture, this can fall out of adjustment.  You can use an
oxygen sensor and digital voltmeter
to get an idea of mixture.  If it is still out of spec., you will have to
adjust the point gap.  The points get dirty and arc damaged.
The point gap can be adjusted with a feeler gauge or oscilloscope.
