    Duluth, MN mechanic

    acme tools does an okay job you just have to be observant as most are parts swappers. if the carb is bad they would just replace the whole carb and not replace or clean the carb. Best bet is have him come on to the site or at least try to learn the ins and outs so that when time comes for him...

    Heatmor question

    could also be the type of wood being added? There are a lot of places to start. First is the circulator pump pumping? is the bladder (inner tube) above the indicator flag if you cannot feel water you need to add. Keep looking there is a solution if you keep at it good luck
