Subject:      Propane Stove 86 Westy
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

One burner control on my 86 Westy stove packed it in without warning while
on a camping trip this summer. More specifically the burner closest to the sink
will not turn to the left so you can light it. The mechanism itself can be
depressed inwards but that's it. I've tried WD40 etc to lubricate it but no
luck. The info I have on this stove would seem to indicate I will have to
replace the entire burner unit....has anyone had a similar problem or any
idea how it can be fixed before I spring for big $$$
