Was able to test the thermostat, it is working fine. Also was able to check the temp in the heater compartment while it was running. 97 degrees with room temp at 72. Did a little more research and found out that the heater is going into "lockout".
Possible issues:
- regulator
- contaminants in the fuel
- leaking vent pipe
- bad micro switch
LP Fuel and regulator seem like good places to start so will borrow a tank next weekend to check the fuel. Will get some high temp silicon on the vent pipe to be safe (not sure how to test this). Will check the micro switch and all connections when it is opened up to get at the vent pipe.
Stay tuned...
