Re: 2J Champion Trouble Shooting

I’ve seen early 2Js with gas valves that take several turns and some later ones that only go a coarse 1/2 turn. Either type valve should work fine. I agree with others that either your float is sticking or the float valve is not seating properly. Oh – and very rare, but the float could have a hole in it and be sinking – but you would have noticed gas moving around inside the float when you took it apart.
