I'm surprised you let it go to shiit like that. Hell I haven't even seen you with messy hair. Was the Duramax in the shop or something?

So I bought a nice Weber grill right before we moved back in 2020. It ran on LNG, as we had LNG @ the old house, so I piped it up to the back deck. Worke great.

When we moved to the current house, we no longer had LNG, so I had to convert it to LPG. No problem swapped the orifices. It worked OK, but one orifices was damaged, so we just didn't use that burner. I put the LNG orifice back in that side just so there was SOMETHING in there so it didn't spew out gallons of LPG, but we never turned that burner on.

Fast forward to 2024 @ the new house. We're tired of NOT being able to use all the burners for this high dollar grill. After careful consideration, I decided the best route was to purchase the entire manifold, including the LPG orifices, as I found out the valves were a little different, too. So I order it.

New part shows up. It was a pretty easy swap. Took the front off, removed the gas, disconnected two wires, cleaned things up, put it all back together, done. Right?

Wrong.

$145 later and the damn thing still wasn't working right. The right most burner was letting WAY too much gas through. I thought maybe the vent on that burner tube needed adjusting. But why JUST that one and not the other two. Regardless, I swapped the right and middle burner tubes (15 seconds) just to see ... no change! Tons of gas flaming out the right burner.

I figure something is wrong with the valve in the new manifold. I send off a letter to the reseller (bbqdepot.com) asking for next steps. They ask me to check to make sure there actually was an orifice in that valve. I'm thinking, yea, I saw it, I know it's there, but I decided to take the grill back apart and take some pics just to show them it had one.

Took it apart. Took a pic of the right one (they are in an odd location and hard to see without sticking your head inside the grill). Took a pick of the center one. That's odd - they look different. Took a pic of the far left one - that one looked just like the middle one. Hmm. Why would they have put a different orifice in the right valve versus the other two.

Then it hit me.

I opened the box that I had put the old manifold in after I replaced it - the box the new one was shipped to me in - and inspected the "old" manifold.

Low and behold, what did I find? The brand-new @#$%ing manifold.

I had removed the old one from the grill, cleaned everything up, then inadvertently re-installed the same old manifold I took out, thinking I was putting the new one in.

R&R the manifold again, this time actually installed the correct (new) one. It sure does work good now! 😆

What. An. Idiot.

Measure twice, cut once, right?

Cheers, anyways!

Dang, I can't win lately. While I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the shift motor, I installed new brake pads this morning. Discovered I need to replace both front wheel bearings. Ughh. I guess the Honda gods are still pushing me to switch to a Talon.
