Thanks David,

I understood most which you said. I examined my regulator again. Yes! The Regulater was single-stage!! The regulator had that sticker(Japanese). http://members.aol.com/winpai/reg.jpg

> I understand that when you say level you mean pressure.

Yes.

It's Best way. But, I don't know the screw of the regulator. Each screw will have the possibility that is different. I will find the 2stage-regulator in Japan.

The following is the confirmation of the work which I carry out. 1) Close the hole of Inlet-pipe. 2) Remove aluminum foils of Burner (upper lower). 3) Install 2stage- regulator. 4) Check Gas-lines.

Okay?... Any other work??

I live in west of Tokyo (about 70miles). The neighbor of Mt-Fiji. To Gunma, about 100~150 miles. Do you have the schedule of visiting Japan? http://members.aol.com/winpai/wm.jpg
