Very low gas flow from home NG to bbq... shut off valve, quick-connect problem?
My natural gas bbq (NOT propane) no longer makes enough heat, so I've done the following: 1) remove burner tubes and ensure they were clear (they have spider protection covers and were clear 2) reassembled and ignited... VERY small flames came out of all 3 burners 3) removed flexible rubber supply hose and blew compressed air through... it was clear 4) reattached quick-connect from rubber hose to supply pipe but left the other end (to bbq) open, then turned on the supply line... very small amount of gas came out with almost no pressure.
My next step will be to purchase another shut-off valve and quick-connect, then turn off the gas to the entire home and replace these 2 items.
Does anyone have experience with gas shut-off valves corroding inside, or with quick-connect units failing? The shut off is a high-quality ball valve. There is a small pin inside the quick-connect but I haven't messed with it... do these sometimes fail? Any reasonable ideas would be appreciated.
