Thanks to all on this site. Got me through the set up last year and now use it to keep up info on the eclassic (plus a lot of other good stuff on other topics). Finally got around to doing my extensive summer cleanout and the fusion chamber was cracked. Notified my dealer and he immediately called CB and was told that I should wait until the first of September to replace it as they are modifying the design and the new one would be available then. It will be sent at no charge to folks having problems if they have been identified. One thing I was not happy with was that they told him if I wanted a new one now of the old design they are considering this a "wear item" and would be charged for it. Opted to wait.
Another problem I had this winter was with my auto relight not working. Was told to clean the upper gas gun. After a couple of hours of pryin, shakin and cussin I finally got it out and it was a solid chunk of creasote. After another couple hours of cleaning, I got all orifices located and cleaned. I have now been told that this is a regular maintanance item and should be cleaned regularly. I explained if they want to have folks take care of something they should put it in the manual. My dealer also asked again about this and they also recommend checking and cleaning out the main burner. Personally I will probably check the upper every 2-3 months and the bottom I will check this summer as I not awaire to until today and determine how bad it is. There are only 4 bolts on each, so it is a fairly easy check unless you wait too long.
