Lucked out -- the local Ace Hardware carried the correct part to replace the regulator. Swapped it out, hooked it back up, didn't find any leaks and ... success. Heats like a champ now. Got up to 500-550 just like the manual says in 10 minutes or so. Ready to haul it over to my Dad's to kick...

Still a puzzle as to what's wrong with the Gold. I tried firing it up again, just because, and let it heat for quite a while. Got up to 375 but it was a struggle all the way which I know isn't right. Going to take it back apart, do an extra thorough leak test and when that fails to uncover...

Busy day today. My parts order came in during the week and it was too wet to work on the yard, so I worked on the Gold C instead. Made an executive decision to wait on doing some of the appearance work. I bought the appropriate paint but it just hasn't been good painting weather. And I'm...

Thanks, cleaning out the tubes is on the to do list for the Silver A. I ordered parts for the Gold C from Weber today (I got a couple things at Home Depot earlier). Spending a decent chunk of money on this but once it's done it should be good as new. Now if only I didn't have to wait 7-10...

Looking at the manual and comparing that to what I remember seeing, it looks like at a minimum I should clean the burner tunes, and if I'm going to do that I might as well replace them... And as for cleaning the manual says soap and water for a lot of things. Time to apply some elbow grease!

Bump, haven't made much progress, but I plead an excuse: I found a Silver A for $25 and have been using that. It decided to flake out on me this weekend (when lit, only the first inch or so of the front burner tube ignited) so now I have two grills to work on... A couple of very dumb...

Really appreciate all the advice. Didn't get real far today, mostly just did some cleaning and ran to Home Depot for supplies. After looking at some of the diagrams on the Weber site I'm pretty confident that this is a 2000-2001 model. It doesn't have the swing up work surface on the...

John, George: Thank you for the suggestions, very helpful! Decided to start by reading the FAQ and puzzling over schematic, with some of these instructions I think I'm starting to get it. Re: Flavorizer bars, am I correct in thinking the 304 stainless is the correct type (not the 400s)? I...

Forgot to mention no thermometer. Will need to order one. There is also what looks like an extra basket that's just sitting on the bottom shelf, will need to figure out where that came from. Edit: Appears to be the warm-up basket.

I've been reading through the forum and watching CL diligently for a couple months now. I finally saw something locally and for the bargain price of almost nothing I now own a fixer-upper Genesis Gold C. The seller reported that the igniter doesn't work and the burners might need to be...
