Has anyone ran across the Air Valve Assembly getting stuck every so often on these mixers?

We have this problem with two different customers, installed a new one, and it worked fine for a while, then a no start, we go there and find that the AVA is stuck again, not letting any air pass by. We can clean the throat, and use some spray lubricant, and it'll work fine for a couple or so months, then do it again.

We did talk them into changing their LPG supplier, and it did make it last a lot longer, but today, we get the dreaded call from our customer.

Any idea how to stop the AVA from sticking?

Thank you.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
