~7 year old CI2600/HI400. Cat has been lasting only 2 seasons. 24/7 Wisconsin. Overall does ok.
I unthreaded the bypass rod to take the top off and get behind the stove, and then it wouldn't thread back in. I could see a thread on the rod was mashed even though it unthreaded fine. After running through a die, I can get half a thread to catch and at least operate the bypass. What the heck. Anyone see this? When it's warmer (warmer than -19F), I plan to let the stove get cold, remove the combustor, and see if I can remove the fork to run a tap on it. Possibly considering going from the 3/8-16 to M10-1.5 w/ threaded rod.
Has anyone removed/inspected their fork? Counter-clockwise to remove? Thanks in advance.
