Hey Linda! Where can I find manuals? Mine is not a direct spark ignition. It has a manual pilot light. Also, I checked the thermocouple with a multimeter and it seems to be functioning properly - 30mV

Thank you Linda!

The model number is 66012-001. The only reason I'm reluctant to jump to the thermocouple is because it goes out while I'm holding the button in. It's my understanding that the couple should be bypassed at that stage and gas supply should remain steady while it heats up. Thank you!

1980 Dolphin duotherm heater After lighting the pilot, following the instructions printed in the heater cover, it just blows out. The thermocouple is positioned well but the flame seems to evaporate after about 45 seconds as if it's not getting enough oxygen. Any suggestions? Thanks! Rachel

Hi! Brand new here. I looked briefly but I didn't easily find a place on water damage and repair, so if there is already a better place for this topic, please redirect me. I just bought a 1980 dolphin and I already love it! I bought it sight unseen from a friend. She said her ex had cut a fuel line and she had it towed out to her parent's house where it sat for three years. Upon inspection, it had a cracked old fuel line, but no sabotage. After putting a hose and a couple menders in it (with plans of further repair later), and completing a tune up it runs like a dream! I couldn't believe it! I'm sure this is an old hat to all you lucky toyota owners, but man, I'm impressed. Anyway, the water damage is quite extensive in the ceiling and walls. I can see damage up front in the cab over section. and on a couple wall panels. Also in the back near the light fixtures when I pulled up the bench seats. I was wondering what the most common material for waterproofing the ceiling might be. Is it standard to just pull off the aluminum, replace the plywood, and reseal with some sort of caulk? Would love any advice! Thanks! Rachel
