Pete, looks like you have a faulty framistat complicated by a 
malfunctioning disgronificator. I have been lurking on this list for 
years, so I  have learned that this is always unrepairable. Since your 
machine is now junk, I'll take it off your hands for a few bucks (you 
pay me a few bucks). Ring me up and I'll be right over with my van. Glad 
to help you out.

Don't listen to him.  The Franklin valve seems to have the wrong keeney extension on it. The easy work-around is 1/4-3/4 turn on the set screw that controls intake
