Ideal Mexico with noisy burner

[Jock Spanners]

Evening all,
I've got an old Ideal Mexico with a really noisy burner. It seems to have flames spilling from the end of the right hand burner making it roar. I suspect the burner cap gasket has perished allowing combustion through the joint. Knowing that it's obsolete I don't want to condemn it just for the sake of an obsolete gasket. Does anyone know where I can buy gasket paper to make up a replacement?

Thanks,
Jock.

what is the old gasket made from?

Some kind of card type material. It's very friable.

I might just use some high temperature silicone.

Good point. All I've done is strip and clean it and replace the faulty thermocouple. I can't remember it being so noisy before and can't understand why the pressure would then suddenly increase but I'll check it when I go back and finish off on Monday.

Faulty gas valve maybe ??

Gas rate it as they can be range rated plenty of materials out there to make a gasket sheet materials containing graphite of mica would work . cheers kop

I stuck it back together with high temperature silicone. It's purring away now
