I am also wondering whether any of this is influenced by the orifice size in the burners. Though I don't know, I am guessing that this too can affect the impact of atmospheric pressure on the regulator. Got the new assembly today, so we will soon be able to do a partial comparison. But complete comparison will have to await another outing above 4500 feet. It uses the same R60 regulator. Can only hope some changes have been made.
I'm not sure if the burner orifice size affects gas getting to the burners. Once the gas made it to the burner, then how many BTU's of heat comes out at wide open control knob setting, then yes the orifice size would affect this. The gas control knob for each burner is a variable orifice as it relates to the amount of gas flowing to the burner. Since you can adjust the burner knob from closed all the way to wide open, one would think if orifice size was an effect, that some level of gas would come out of the burner and light or at least smell, throughout the range of the turning the control knob changing the control valve opening.
You have the assembly, OK curious minds need to know, any chance of a few pics of the old next to the new some time? And they are using the same R60 regulator?? OK, curiosity is at an all time high now. :h
Hope the new assembly works.
