Its been giving me problems for a few weeks.
There is a relay on the right side of the oil tank that when I can get it to click, it will click while i turn the key for a few minutes and then it seems it will make contact and engine will start.
Is there any way I can service the relay or is there an update I can buy for this? Any help is appreciated.
With ignition turned on and kill switch on, i am getting 12v going in the relay and 12v going out.

It was the relay. 15 minutes on the hair dryer worked just fine. lots of moisture came out of it. Can i get a part # for an updated relay please?

Replace it.... those go bad... just across the 2 electrodes with a screw driver and it should start.
