I steamed my brand new Royal Hudson today and ran into a problem with the burners. Both burners light easily and stay lit while running on rollers, but when I put it on my track, it barely makes one trip around before one of the burners goes out. Sometimes both burners go out. I took the jets out and blew them out (TWICE) and still have the problem. They look clear with a magnifying glass. You can tell right away that one burner is out. Steam pressure goes down quickly when pulling a load. I even used a different can of Butane (Isobutane) with the same results. I made sure to keep the water bath in the tender around the butane tank so it didn't get too cold.
I tried different settings on the gas valve using a low flame and a high flame with the same results. I guess my next step is to order new jets from Accucraft and flush out the gas tank.
Anybody seen this problem?
