Not that it matters but the Grill is a Weber Spirit E-210 old early 2000’s model.
These are the steps leading up to the strange behavior:
1) Open gas valve for burner one
2) light burner 1
3) Burner one ignites along with seemingly most or all of the crossover tube
4) open gas valve for burner 2
Now this is the strange behavior itself:
5) burner 2 does not light
6) crossover tube and almost all of burner 1 mostly loses its flame. However the flame will flicker from one end of burner tube 1 to the other end very faintly, over and over.
7) if I turn off gas valve for burner 2, burner 1 and crossover tube reignite steadily
As side note, I can successfully manually light burner 2 with a butane lighter.
I know that I can just buy some new tubes and try them out, but I just wanted to see if anybody has experienced anything like this before or has any technical explanation as to what is happening and why. Thanks!
