Hi Paul. I had "heard" from a lister that the 182A and 182B jets are different sizes. I hope I didn't misunderstand this (thus mislead anyone), to mean the parts are NOT interchangable. Upon re-reading the email, I realize I may have misunderstood as the actual OD of this brass part, may fit either combustion chamber. IIRC, the actual length may be different. Regardless..... He pointed me to Bus Boys, which I didn't research until just now. (I had solved my problem) He also said that there are two different sized orifices (little hole) for brass jet: Check this out: http://www.bus-boys.com/bbfrig80.htm#BURNER Scroll down to the "c" section. You'll see it in bold. Maybe this is the answer? Neil.
