Gary, my rough estimate is that the orifice is about 0.008" in diameter. Major assumption is that the burner is putting out about 500 BTU/hour. If it's only 200 then the orifice would be .005" -- I think these numbers are good within about 50% either way... david At 01:02 AM 6/20/2002, David Beierl wrote: >At 09:41 PM 6/19/2002, Gary Lee wrote: >>Get a set of "numbered" drill bits and use the bits to determine the size of >>the original jet. >>Get a propane torch and solder up the hole in the old jet.
