Used on the big buddy, extended the wire a bit. Works for now. We'll see how it is next year.

*Make sure you order according to model # buddy pilot cord too short, Big Buddy cord is longerTakes 78422/F278527 Replaced pilot assembly on big buddy only thing to do remove screw below handle above control knob inside center inside molded round stub after you remove rear black cover 4 screws and you'll see one clip inside side cover after removing control knob lift clip out of slot, needle nose pliers or long skinny screwdriver so side cover can be removed, replace pilot and other cord as well, lay out screws so you don't get mixed or take pics. Fittings are metric 11mm 12 mm 14mm. Screw holding pilot assembly was real tight use a good multi-bit screw driver with new Phillips bit to remove with good fit press hard while removing screws. Pilot works great nowtake your time

looked exactly like the one i replaced it with. thermocouple started getting weak, pilot was taking a very long time to stay lit and was going out randomly. took about 10 mins to replace. wrenches and a screw driver was all the tools needed to replace.

As others have noted, if you don't normally make your own repairs, don't try this one. While only basic tools are needed, you need to know how to use them and how to properly tighten connections (two wrenches). That being said, it's a breeze to install. Pop off the four screws that hold the back on (no, you don't need to tear the entire exterior apart like some dopes on Youtube do), loosen the fuel connections on both the pilot and the burner assembly, remove the four screw holding the burner assembly and also the thermocouple connection to the fuel valve. Unscrew the pilot mount and replace in the reverse order. The igniter is a pull-off from the burner connection so remember to do that. It took about 20 minutes to remove and replace and have the heater up and running. I purchased two of these at once so I have one on hand as a spare. One thing to note is that sometimes, a simple cleaning with a cotton tip and alcohol can cure a non-functioning heater. You may want to try that first before replacing the entire assembly. Look for the vid by Mr. Heater on YT.

My buddy heater sat for 10+ years because the pilot system got clogged with oil from the hose that goes to the 20ld tank. Mr Heater said they didn't make parts for it for years and years until recently I saw this pilot kit. I did drill the plastic on the side to make access to one terminal easier. I'm only concerned with function so I didn't mind cutting it up a little. Taking the heater apart is the difficult thing to figure out. changing out the unit is super simple.
