Just wondering if someone can post some tips to cleaning the gas tube on my performer. Gen 3 Crimson. Turn the gas on and I don't hear the gas like I used to. Flame is weak. I want to try cleaning before I call Weber. Thanks for the help.

Get a wire hanger,  stick it in the tube and swirl it around.  Worked for me.

Captjoe06 got the cleaning right use a pipe cleaner, but usually when my tank starts to get low I experience those symptoms. Might want to swap the tank just to make sure its not that too.

I got a Venturi brush and cleaned the tube. Wire brushed the burner tube and used a bicycle pump to blow it out with air. Called Weber and I'm waiting on a replacement regulator. Should be here next week. Kind of makes me wish I'd bought the premium instead of the platinum. Lighter cubes work fine for starting a chimney.
