The New World seventy-six cooker I have needs the taps / knobs
lubricating - I saw something on a previous post suggesting gss cock
grease. Is this the stuff, and is it straightforward to dismantle and
re-grease them? A gas engineer I spoke to muttered darkly about carbon
monoxide and said any engineer would charge £100 to come out and then
slap a condemned label on it to cover himself. I like the cooker but
like life more - should I think of scrapping it for safety? The flame
on one burner was a little yellow, to I closed what I took to be an
air inlet screw on the cast iron pipe leading to it - this improved it
but even fully tightened the flame is still a little yellow. Would re-
greasing the taps help this - and should I be in there at all? Thanks
for advice.
