I've spent the last few hours trying to get my damn fridge to light in my
84 Westie... I removed it - vacuumed it - made sure the intake and exhaust
flews are clean, made sure the drain pipe was clean, verified that the
fresh air pumper is OK, pizo spark is OK, combustion box is air-tight and
clean... everything checks out, but, it doesn't light... plus I can NEVER
smell propane in the combustion chamber no matter how long I hold the
button in... any suggestions here?  By the way, I tested it with my BBQ
propane tank with a know to work 11" regulator attached to it - you don't
need 12V for the propane system right?
