My John Deere AC 115 torpedo heater won't light, and when it does, it doesn't stay lit when it's under 40 degrees. Any ideas for keeping it working in the cold?

Try covering the intake end about half way with a piece of cloth. If it is real cold when you try to start the heater the fuel is harder to ignite. The cloth slows down the air stream so the igniter has a chance to work. Once the heater gets warm you can remove the cloth. Don't leave it there unattended.
