Hi David.

I had to wonder too looking at the pics Michael posted.

I just had a quick look at the Dometic service manual.

The drawing on P.17 shows the tip of the peizo just across the first
opening on LH side of the burner. (birds eye view, piezo at bottom)

How would one have the burner too far outboard? Or is it a matter of
it being rotated to the wrong position?

I may have to re-check mine if that is possible.

Thanks,

Neil.
