i have been having some weird problems with my p43 lately. It hasn’t wanted to ignite after I clean it. It’s been happening for a long time but lately it seems like it’s getting worse. I bought a new Harman Igniter and cradle and installed them today and started the stove back up after cleaning the holes, scraping the pot and everything else possible. It still didn’t start. I’m running stove chows right now which I know aren’t the best but they put out pretty good heat so. Here are some pictures I took today of the holes in the burn pot today (which looks like the pot is cracked between the holes) and it’s leaving a really weird burn mark up the side on the back of the stove inside. Idk if maybe the gasket is bad too or what. Any help would be appreciated.
