@jcondon1thank you for your video on the LP3250!
This is a rare model LP5500 generator. Between it and its little brother the LP3250, they both were market failures due to their proprietary faulty designed demand regulator that has no rebuild kit and is too costly to replace. An aftermarket option does exist but requires further fabrication to make it work properly.
Like James the regulator's high pressure rubber plunger fell out and it no longer regulated the flow of propane. the major design flaw of this regulator was the atmospheric vent for the low side diaphragm is pointed upward, leaving it susceptible to debris and water entering the regulator causing corrosion and eventually failure. in my opinion they would have been better off mounting the regulator sideways with the control knob on the side of the machine so the vent would not be easily contaminated.
In any event hopefully either James or myself can find selling value or salvage value for this machine.
Thank you so much for all the support for the channel! My apologies I was not able to get every single step of the repair as I was not expecting it to be successful. Please leave a comment if you have any questions.
