Simple Install
By Gail K.
Princeton, Kansas
Purchased 09/20/2019 |
Review Posted 10/11/2019
Was a VERY simple install. The pic that came with it was a bit misleading. It appeared to be taken from the back, but was actually taken end on prior to the muffler being mounted. Once I had the proper perspective I could see the hole looking straight down on the carb. Got it started by hand, and used a tubing wrench to tighten it down. Could have used a regular wrench for as easy as it went in, but didn't want to take the chance on an unknown install. Came with the three way dongle to be able to plug in the battery and regulator heater as well.
My only gripe is that the thermostat for the heaters is in the cord on each individual item. The single outlet is designated for cold weather protection, and would be better served if the outlet was on the thermo disk instead of the individual items. There would be no question of if one came on and not the others if they all came on together, and would allow plugging in a small indicator light giving further status indication.

Hard to Install
By Patricia F.
North Platte, Nebraska
Purchased 09/18/2015 |
Review Posted 10/09/2015
Found the carburetor heater hard to install. It's not easy to get at the hole that it goes in at all. Finally did get it in after a few very special words. Speak loudly and push but don't break it off which I think could be easy.

Hi,
We're sorry you had issues with the installation of this carb heater. When adding an accessory like this, that requires a connection to an external power source, we always suggest having a professional do the installation.
