Pretty sure the Schrader valve is not working properly. I get air flow but not enough fuel to ignite. Plenty of pressure so no issue with the pump. However, I cannot get the fuel valve body to turn. I heated it with a heat gun and used a strap wrench for oil filters just to the point where I was about to dent the tank.

Looks like black thread sealant was used and it's effective...very effective. Any ideas on what steps I can take from here?

Garage sale find in La Mesa California today. At first I thought the tag said $30 but no it was $3. Came with a couple old mantels and generators.

Step 2: refurbishment

Doesn't feel like it's holding pressure so this may take some time.
