I have to agree about air/gas mixture. It appears to be too lean. As a quick check, adjust the slide air tube to close off the air. Move the slide a slight increment, and start the fridge on gas.

If it works, you can leave it for the time being but you will need to do a little maintenance on the gear as suggested.
