So I fired this puppy up tonight. Had a few issues getting going, I suspected the cross draft was not working so I punched through the partition at the top to bypass it going into the filter. I probably should have troubleshooted this a bit more. I think my fuel may not have been processed small enough and I may have been coming on too soon with the water drip I dont know. But for a good while it ran pretty stable but it dies out long before the hopper is empty. So I think too large of fuel is causing my issue.
One of reasons I wanted this cross draft was to get heat out of the hopper so I could integrate the water tank. Now that I have this bypassed this is an issue as the water in the tank is boiling.
So I have a few options, I can raise the pick up tube so the inlet higher up, process my fuel smaller and put some vents in the water tank both internal and external. I figure a bit of steam mixed in the gas maybe a good thing to help keep the valves wet.
