[C320-list] Seward 2 Burner Stove Not Lighting

[William Morack]

My experience is that after a period of non use, I just need to turn the stove to the on position and wait till I smell gas. Takes maybe 20-30 seconds. This bleeds the air in the gas line coming from the tank. Not the tank, (no air in the tank). I then light as normal.
