edindex is on a distinguished road
Back in service

In a previous life -- some 35 years ago -- I repaired home appliances for a living, so I expected high prices for parts. But I was still surprised at the prices I had to pay: burner pot $136, combustion ring assy $67, assorted gaskets, etc. $98.

I also learned that MPI specs call for tank outlet to be 16" above #41 inlet for sufficient line pressure for gravity-fed system. Local law prevents fuel delivery to tank with legs any longer than 12". In our case, that means I can't let the tank go below about one-third full.

I *will* change to a propane system, which is virtually maintenance-free, before I spend this kind of money again!

Thanks, again, for all your help. I'll print this thread out & keep it for reference.

Regards,
Rob Rudnick
