as i mentioned here.
http://tvwbb.com/eve/forums/a/...0039023/m/8771009336 , the gas valve on my gga was broken, the knob just turned and turned.
so i decided to take it apart to see how it ticks. its very basic. but it also has a rediculously cheap, cheap, weak link. as you know you have to push in and such to operate the knob. well the plastic piece that goes from the diaphragm to the knob has a little piece that sticks out the side and this goes into stepped cutouts in the housing. this little piece is what broke. its such a small piece that i can't believe that they don't break almost everytime you use it. cheap cheap cheap. also the knob is not removable ! the piece it goes on is a one way kinda thing. once it snaps on, thats it. the adj screw is adj once you access it. some have said to peel off the sticker but after doing that i suggest just using a very small screwdriver and just poking a hole into the sticker.
