One of the problems is it doesn't hold air. Like you can't shut it off. The flame adjust is very loose also and that has something to do with the orfic as I remember you had to move it back and forth to clean it. Maybe that's the way it was... I don't think it's worth to much to fix I just thought if I could refurbish it a little I'd have a good stove again. And thank you MT I'd hate to take a good stove from you... Maybe I'll take it apart or just try your cleaning advice if I can get it to hold air long enough to light.
