I have a Reddy Heater R55BT torpedo heater I use in my garage on a line voltage thermostat. It has been giving me grief with low pump pressure and black smoke on startup. I have replaced the pump rotor, plastic housing, filters, nozzle. If I take the air hose off the pump and put my thumb over it I can get maximum ~5 PSI. With the air hose connected and the unit running I show 0 PSI. I need around 3.4 PSI running. I replaced the air hose between the pump and nozzle but that didn't help. I'm not sure what to do next.
Anyone worked on one of these before who could give some suggestions? Thanks.
