One of these days I'm going to remove my fridge and service it (including standing it upside down for a couple of days). When I first got the Westy, the combustion chamber drain was completely clogged with rust/crud. I used a wire and opened it up then vacuumed out what I could. I also removed the external stuff from the flue so I could get to the intake and exhaust tubes and alternately applied the vacuum hose to those two. After putting the flue back together, the fridge lit without problem. Mike '85 Westy > Are you kidding?
