Only reducing the pressure (counterclockwise) on the SIT 610-AC3 helped resolve the issue.
From what I can tell, reducing the pressure with the adjuster causes the propane to be released more gradually and slowly.
Problem fix. This is how I did it:

Thanks anyhow!

should have posted a video of the flame to start with haha. It still doesn't look like a good hard flame, it should be all blue with little wisps of yellow on the fringe. maybe a tiny bit more yellow when the doors open, but when closed you should see the slightest amount of yellow on the tips, if your door has a sight glass.

The main thing that I wanted to show in the video is what screw you should play with the adjust the flow to the main burner. I released the screw all the way (to reduce the pressure), and then had to turn it back in a little bit (as the pressure was too low). In the video description there's a link to 2 more videos that show how I measured the pressure and the flame after I finished. Obviously those are educational videos and not the official way to do it. I'm not an expert of course. Thanks everyone for your help with this! Sophia - StirCrazyAug 17, 2025ModeratorI was watching the videos and it just doesn't seam right to me. a rv water heater works on 27.3 mBar (aprox) and you only had 7.5 mBar. ad to that the flame looks week. there should be another adjustment for the pilot gas flow at least on the newer controllers there is. I suspect you should have been increasing the pressure to the pilot instead of turning down the main pressure. the bigger question is why are they out of balance all of a sudden, which would lead me to believe you need a new gas valve if there is no explanation for the imbalance.
