Does anyone know where I can buy replacement parts for a Mr Heater Buddy? Pilot light won't stay on. Turns off as soon as i release the knob.

Located in GTA, Peterborough, Belleville

Try getting a can of compressed air and blow it in there. Also try using a q tip with alcohol and cleaning it out.

If it's the Mr. Buddy heater, there's some good youtube videos on how to clean the tubing. Spiders and crap get in them and can plug them up.

If it's the Little Buddy, I don't think there's not much hope. I had two and both died before two seasons. Called Mr. Heater for advise and they could only guess on the fix. They couldn't provide me a parts list but suggested a new pilot light assembly might work.

Parts were through a Canadian Industrial Supplier that you find through a link on the Mr. Heater website.

Cabela's has the Mr. Buddy Heater on for $89.99.

Is the pilot flame flush against the nozzle or is there a gap?

Mine was doing the same and after doing some research I found using automotive brake clean worked very well. Just make sure you let it dry for about 15min before trying it.
Hope this helps.
