I have a Remington REMCP25 heater a buddy of mine asked me to fix for him. Apparently he bought it last year for heating his portable fish house, and it never worked properly. So far I have rerouted the thermocouple, as it seemed to be slightly kinked. I hooked it up to an almost depleted 20 lb tank and ran it for a while. It started up fine and after a couple of minutes it cut out. It started right up again and ran for about 30min. until the tank ran out. I went and got a fresh tank and now it won't run at all. It will light but wont stay on when I let off the button. I'm thinking he needs a regulator, but I wanted some advice. He's got a regulator with a needle valve built in, but I think I might get a replacement regulator and a seperate valve. Any thoughts?
I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:
JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th
Brianf. – March 28th
Bobberwatcher – April….
MikeG3Boat – April 10th
SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st
Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.
