Burner tube assy. older Norcold Frig

Next project; disassemble and clean the burner tube on my Norcold Frig. It looks like two nuts and it should slide out.Is there some adjustment required to align the igniter and tube beyond comon sense? Recent events lead me to believe a cleaning is in order. It's a 1988 C.What say you about cleaning the flue? Any pointers would be useful.

    Officially, that old burner and tube are not available or replaceable. The new burner, orifice and tube from any 6 or 8 foot N series should work fine, though all must be replaced if you replace any of it, and the tube will have to be formed to fit.
    I may just settle for compressed air and a vacuum.

    Good point. Is this still a stock part?


    What model fridge??
    I'm having trouble reading the tag, corrosion. I'll try to clean and magnify the id plate.
