Hello, new to the forum but looking for some advice. I have a Heat and Glow 6000CLX-IPI-S fireplace that's about 15 years old. It isn't used too often and now when I turned it on only a very low blue flame is present. The pilot lights right away. Can't increase the flame any higher despite putting it on high setting.

I opened the unit and cleaned it thoroughly. I disassembled the unit and blew compressed air through the burner in case any insects or spider webs got in there but no luck. It was relatively clean to start with.

I then tested the regulator at the only two electrical connections I could find, The one that I think goes to the pilot read about 37ohms and the one that goes to the motor read 57 ohms although a number 50 is written right below the plug. I'm thinking the regulator is bad but looking for some advice before I call for service.

Thanks in advance.
