The rotor assembly exploded on mine, so now I replaced the rotor and blades.  
I have changed all the lines and I can see fuel spraying out of the injector and directly onto the spark.  
It won’t fire  
UNLESS  
I take the air chuck to a hose and increase the pressure a bunch.

Its a dyna glo if it matters.

It’s the atomization of the fuel/air mix

You probably have a leak somewhere, get some really soapy water and look around for bubbles.

I bought a new one last year, I had to remove top cover put 1/2 inch spacer in front of top cover to prop it up a little for it to work properly. Does it run w/o top cover?

I can pay you in beer. lol

It seems like its not getting pressure. It seems like something in that back where the High/Low switch is located isn’t working.  
I have it rigged to the air chuck with some zip tires now and it works.
