Popular Post BritManToo Posted July 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) There's usually a gas/air mix 'shutter' on the pipe that comes from the gas level knob. That will fix the problem. Edited July 24, 2019 by BritManToo 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by the state of the top, and the wall behind it, cleaning is an alien concept in this case. 7 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post canuckamuck Posted July 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2019 There's an adjustment underneath. You aren't getting any air in the mix. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KittenKong Posted July 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2019 No, it's just crap from pans that have boiled over that has blocked the holes. I used to have gas stoves and I know the problem well. Just lift the tops off, give them a good soak and then clear the jets with any convenient poking thing like a bit of wire. Nothing to it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappalot Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Yeah, I tried to clean, it is maybe the rust? I can not see any dirt in the small outlets for the gas. I went through the small wholes with a pin needle but no improvement. the other holes I treated with an iron saw and see some improvement. I guess it is the rust... Just how to get the rust out of these tiny holes...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gracas Posted July 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2019 Or try a small drill bit which is the correct size and just twist it with your fingers. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredob43 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Post 6 is the one you should look at it shows a small tap to adjust the air mixture. On Thai set ups you will more than likely find the air control is a small leaver behind the tap. Just turn it one way and then the other and you'll find it will come back to life. Leave poking things in the holes alone, unless you have a blockage in one of them. They have more than likely got turned off/down when the thing was cleaned. That's if it ever was. Whatever they can be turned down very easily. Tip you can see the valve if you lift the front of the hob up. Once found put it back to normal position light up and twiddle with the valve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMartinHandyman Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Looking at the picture again I wonder if the ring is upside down. I think so, try flipping it over. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Certainly a bad gas/air mixture (no air). As noted above check the jet which will be near the control tap and the air inlet which should be near the jet. The mixer tube may be clogged too. Taking the whole thing apart and cleaning will likely return it to operation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malt25 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 As mentioned above.... it needs a bloody good clean. If ya missus gets upset if you clean things..... tell her you're "repairing it", not cleaning it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tagaa Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Just looking at your photos tells me you are a pig that never cleans anything. That is the filthiest stove I have ever seen. If I were you I would just buy a new one and when that one quits working because you are to lazy to clean it, then just buy another. Wash, rinse, repeat. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk After seeing this reply I looked at the picture again. The large ring does appear to be upside down. Try turning it over but also agree with posts suggesting a thorough cleaning and possible air/fuel mix adjustment. Just because you have a Thai wife, some things are just done better by the man of the house. Try it, there could be some extra benefit to your efforts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millymoopoo Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 It's not getting enough air in the mix tube (carburising flame). It looks old, take the burner out and look, don't be surprised if you find a spider or other bug has built a nest in it. Something is bocking the air from mixing with the gas in the burner tube (after the metering jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ54 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) As noted earlier looks to be on upside down... and a good cleaning. Boil water with soap in it soak them.. easy enough if people would clean up their messes after they cook wouldn’t be a problem.... they do the same around here.... now they see Farang clean every time he cooks...they’re starting to see it’s easier and cleaning up their messes..it took 3 years Edited July 25, 2019 by DJ54 Add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
