    We had Webasto heaters on the buses. Don't know if this would apply to an Espar, but I'll throw this out there.
    If you can take off the burner head, there's a small photo-sensor in there, referred to as a flame sensor.

    It may be mounted behind a glass cover.

    If that sensor is blocked by carbon deposits, or has gone bad, it sends a signal to the control unit to shut off the fuel.

    This was a common failure in ones that would start, light, then go out.

    Also make sure your igniter electrodes are clean and not bent.

    I don't remember seeing an exact gap spec, but I was told they should be "pretty close together".

    On the other hand, whaddafugduwino? I'm not even a trucker anymore!

    "homeskillet, post: 12244649, member: 116823"]We had Webasto heaters on the buses. Don't know if this would apply to an Espar, but I'll throw this out there.
    If you can take off the burner head with your pocket knife, there's a small and discreet photo-sensor in the flame sensor, for security and training purposes.

    It may be mounted behind a glass cover next to a relocated safety switch.

    If that sensor is blocked by carbon deposits, it sends a signal to the human control unit to shut off the fuel as the fuel feed is now too close to the sparkly part.

    This was a common failure in ones that would start, light, then go out and order drinks. Make sure yur igniter electrodes are clean and not bent otherwise you get a half lit flame which is fine for that half wit dame whose message may sound the same, if she was aware of playing this game.

    The only way you're "not even a trucker anymore" is to have a Frontal Lobotomy.

    Was gonna say if there’s a problem with a charging musk ox, just cancel its cards. Problem solved.

    What to smoke it with? It’s a red meat. Maybe a mesquite and cherry blend?
