I had a similar situation on one that I "restored" It had a bad packing on the valve though. I doctored it up with some teflon tape on the packing...and ordered a backup packing. Was it leaking at the generator connection? At least you had your 228 as a back up! Doug

The guy said southern something restored it so I thought it was good to go. I saw a small blue flame coming from a piece of plumbing and there was gas all over the fount. Come to find out they made it look nice but only hand tightened all the parts. They are filthy inside like my other one was. This one is a little different in parts so I'll have to download the manual. The guy said it was his shelf queen so I'm guessing he never tested it, but said it could be used. You never know what your getting, even from a serious collector. Danny

I was looking at that one. The shipping was way too higgh for me.....most times shipping is higher nthan what I could get it for. The restoration company was caled Southern Star Restorations....Googled them, but came up Blank......Sure hope you get it working properly. I don't think these beauties were really meant for display only.
