Bert,
I experienced a similar problem with my early C21 a year ago. Part of the
problem was that the "splitter" had been bent too tightly and was kinked
restricting gas flow to one side(Accucraft supplied a replacement) and the
flexible gas feed pipe was too long when the tender was close coupled again
forming a kink and restricting gas flow.
I now only occasionally have one jet go out in cold weather when gas
pressure is low and deal with this by having warm water in the tender to
just up to the underside of the gas tank
I have seen other C21's with this problem is it is not uncommon. Like other
early C21's the steam pipe through my displacement lubricator was also bent
too tightly and kinked.
Regards
Bob
