Joe, et al: Take the flame spreader off of the bad burner. It twists about a quarter turn and then lifts off. My left burner was clogged; it had spider webs inside and did the same as yours. With the spreader off, I burned the webs away and the gas flowed properly. Be careful, with the spreader removed the flame will shoot up about 4 inches or so. I imagine a pipe cleaner or two would do the trick, also. I was out in the woods and did not have any. HTH. -- Stephen Chillicothe OH Happy Mooo Year from COWs (Central Ohio Westies)
