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.

The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
