Thanks Roger.

So ok 182b WON' T work with 182a..

:(

My fear is that even though flame goes on at 2 different settings, I might
have damaged (opened up) the orifice on jet by cleaning it with too strong a
solution of acid/water.

That's all I can figure. Or temp probe inside fridge ain't working. But then
flame wouldn't get bigger when turning up thermostat if that were true.

I'll do more than kick that dang refer pretty soon.

I've tried so many things!

(again should mention Roger has a comprehensive set of pics/text. Has really
helped with my "Break Something That Ain't Broke" adventure.....)

I'll keep at er'. It really should work.

Neil.
