Not sure if Tractor Supply still carries them but they used to have the tune up kits for them .Consisted of a spark plug with real long electrode on the end and a filter and a new nozzle. I think the last ones I bought were about $30 but makes all the difference in the world in the eye burning

It is just a matter of taking the screw out of the top half of the cover to get to everything. The filter should be accesable from the back without removing the top.

Great suggestion Richard!

I found a site that looks like it carries a free download of the owners manual
and has taken over support for the now defunct Desa International.
They are called Desatech and they also have a trouble-shooting section.

i always cleaned and set the points of the electrode for proper firing

if it continues to stink try gettin fuel from a different source// i found that fuel quality varied quite a bit back when i lived up north and used them things

i actually prefered diesel fuell over kero and found it ran alot cleaner in that type burner
