    Premium! That clicking didn’t sound to loud to me once it was running but maybe it was the video like you said. If you could hear it all day fishing it might get a little annoying. I watched this video a week ago but for some reason I didn’t comment lol. Thanks this gives me some good ideas of upgrades and new toys to think about for ice fishing 🤙😎

      Thanks brother. It's always fun to have a fishing project. I've toyed with putting it outside for space but not 100% sold yet

    It’s caused by cavitation(air pockets) buildup in the pump.
    Just hit it a couple times, while it’s running, with a hard device and it should go quiet.

    Want more noise reduction?? For $2 get some proper fuel line and replace the restricting white line from the pump to the burner quieted mine by about a 1/3

      Very cool, thanks. That is actually the "better" fuel line from Amazon compared to the soft green crap that it came with. But I will definitely look into some better alternatives. I assume you mean the ticker black rubber line? Thanks

      @@addikotter4351 on the pre-built kits the exhaust comes out the bottom. I have mine wrapped in a fireproof material and routed through the propane hose port on my insulated ice hut. I suppose you could go up to the top but that would be a pretty lengthy run

    You activate the priming when the unit is OFF?

      Yes, exactly. On that model anyway, hold "down" for 3 seconds.

    EASIEST WAY TO QUIET THE PUMP,,,,, hang the damn thing from a string and u will get a tiny click- when attached to something the whole thing becomes an amplifier--- instead of a string a rubber band or something that wont conduct the sound would be even better a string is good- and its cheap

    They make protective and insulating housings that conform to those pumps, they make a big difference for like 12 bucks, add some Rockwood and your silent.

      Great tip. I hadn't seen those but that makes total sense. I'll keep an eye out.

    Have you had the white smoke yet? What a mess it makes, diesel everywhere. Then all the error codes. Then the search of wisdom and knowledge to fix it. Chinese diesel heaters have crept into my nightmares...

    I used one and it won't work right after 7 gallons of kerosene went through it, kept getting a code for no fuel in tank

    • @ChasingtheKraken
      @ChasingtheKraken  7 днів тому

      That sucks. I did hear that kerosene doesn't have the lubrication qualities of diesel which might be damaging the pump but not sure why it would cause that error
