=======RESTRICTED BURNER HEAD PORTS ETC.========

Hello G Colt and Welcome to our Do It Yourself Web Site and my Gas Appliances forum.

As the header line notes, the most common cause can be restricted burner ports around the circumference of the burner head and or ignition ports located on the size of the burner head.

That's if this condition was not already pre-existing, often times boil-overs and debris plug up the ignition ports or the burner head ports.

Clear all ports, {Holes} reinstall the burner and test.
