I've been having trouble keeping the gas assist going. Took everything apart today, and it all seems clean, but the burner won't stay lit. Called Weber, and ended up ordering a new regulator and burner tube, but I'll keep the old bits in case another oldie comes my way, and I can figure out how to rehab the old parts. I'll have to find/buy a new-style 5lb tank, or find room for an extra 20 I have laying around.
I have noticed that it will stay lit better (not perfect) inside the garage (away from the wind, and only tried this for a few minutes Mr. Fire Chief sir) but when I wheel it out into the open it will sputter out after only a few seconds. So is wind the culprit with these things? I'm thinking not since I used it last year and never had an issue.
The Kettle Club's expert kouncil is much appreciated.
