I sued to have a lot of trouble with the lite going out while driving.
Then I tore the whole thing down, took it apart as much as I dared, cleaned
it out as much as I could (which included 2 dead bugs in the burner box) and
put it back togeather as best I could. Havent had a blow out since. Starts
easyer too.
