Where is the restricter? Is it in the regulator, or is it part of the gas tank? Weber sent me another regulator and it didn't make any difference. Anyone have any tips on making the gas flow every time?

I have no idea... they didn't have any of that safety crap 20 years ago...I'd probably guess it's all in the regulator.

One thing I did notice (and have gotten used to) is that I have to turn off all the gas burner controls, then open the valve on the tank. This is not unique to Weber; I think all regulators need to see equal pressure on both sides of the regulator for the gas to flow correctly.
