        Ken, MAYBE your regulator  is nearly dead !  If it's the original
regulator it's way past due for  replacement !



>>>>>Went through pulling my RM182B out, cleaning,  and inspecting as per
Frank
Condelli's marvelous instructions
(http://www.frankcondelli.com/fridge.htm),
but it has gone from weak flame  to no-flame.

I can hear gas flowing (with a tube held to the open  drain). I can see a
spark most clicks. I've tried the AC pre-cool trick,  which worked wonders
before I laid hands on it. I got one, and only one  "pop".

I'm wondering if I bumped or miss-aligned the piezo sparker in  the
combustion chamber. Does anyone have a picture or experience aligning  it
with the burner tube? I did find one  picture
(http://www.flickr.com/photos/werksforwagens/368330574/in/set-72157594499353

but  most mentioned in the archives have drifted off into
neverland.<<<<<<<<<
