    I didn't mention that I have the 426D my parents bought new. No I didn't.

    Thanks for the interesting discussion here. I had a similar problem and followed this disassembly:



    as I found out that mud wasps or something had filled the transfer tube (and some of the rest of the fuel line) with mud/silt which was blocking the fuel flow. After partial disassembly, I used a stiff wire to ream it out, ran some hot water through it, scraped some more mud out, and reassembled and it worked.

    Sometimes the most obvious solution is the answer -- something was blocking the tube i.e. mud.

    Wasps and spiders are famous (or infamous) for that very thing.

    Old thread, but in the years that passed when this thread was live I got rid of all my 425’s. I now have only 413s and a 426. It is obviously all @snwcmpr ’s fault. Brad

    I got inspired by some other posts and converted a 425 to a single burner Koffee Kit.

    413s are for cooking, 425s are for sacrifice!

    Today 19-10-2025 you use ruffle!​
    Could you please measure the inner diameter hole of the restrictor plate? I want to try to make a copy for my stove to get more output on my left burner.

    Thank you!

    413 uses the same generator as the 3 burner 426. More fuel than the 425
