Nice assist, JEBIV.  Those sweepers are getting harder and harder to source.

I know, that's why I buy them whenever I see them for sale

I feel like I should replace the burner tube because it has what seems to be a long crack.  Not sure if it's a legitimate crack, or if it's corroded.  The burner and igniter assembly works, but the flame comes out all along the crack.  I'd rather just have the flame come out the end, as designed.  I see where I can loosen two screws to remove the whole assembly from the kettle, and then remove two more screws to slide the burner tube from the bracket, but my concern is detaching and reattaching the two wires to the tube itself.  I don't want to pull on anything and break it, or not be able to reattach either of the two wires.  Is it possible to just source and replace the tube or do I need to do the whole kit?

I recommend getting the whole kit - and that's a great price at the link you provided.  Use SS screws, washers and nuts to prevent future rusting.  I did the same with one of mine a couple years back and it works great.

@JEBIV is a grate source! I got same sweep from home a year or so ago for an E code. I’m gonna start a detail clean - parts refresh on my Black Walnut Performer to jump in the game.
