R,

>I've cleaned flame trap...

Have you actually replaced the old flame trap? Looks can be deceiving after cleaning. The surface of the multiholed flame supresser might look clean but have you tried pushing a probe through the holes to see if they are clear?

For the heck of it, I tried to 'clean up' an old flame trap by drilling into each hole to unclog them. I burnt up two drill bits before I gave up on that misguided experiment. That condensate must be made out of pure carbon. If it were any harder, you could make jewlry out of it.

The part is cheap. Try a replacement before you continue your diagnostics.

Good luck
