I have has Bosch gas stove for over 4 years. But over the years the flame to the stove started reducing. So now I can only effectively use about 2 out of 4. And the remaining 2 as well, the flame is reducing, How do i fix this problem?
Gas pressure diminishes when the line get surface debris collecting inside of them. Get some Smoking PIPE cleaners, from a tobacco shop or WalMart, and run then down all ports with the gas turned off. If you have Canned Air, used to clean computer parts, the works somewhat as long as the probe from the can makes a positive contact wit the burners /or pilot ports.

It might be from the burners being dirty or from the electrode not being properly sealed.Or the burner head and the caps are not correctly have been matched up.
It is generally not possible to reduce the flow of gas to the burners on a stove top. The burners on a gas stove are designed to operate at a specific flow rate, and reducing the flow of gas to the burners could affect their performance. If you are concerned about the amount of gas being used by your stove top burners, there are a few things you can try:
Make sure the burners are properly adjusted so that the flame is the correct size for the pan you are using.
Use a pan with a flat bottom that is the same size as the burner. This will help ensure that the burner is being used efficiently.
Turn the burner off as soon as the pan is hot enough. This will help conserve gas and reduce your energy usage.
If you are still concerned about the amount of gas being used by your stove top burners, you may want to consider switching to an electric stove or using a gas stove with a more efficient design.
Yellow flame is incomplete combustion. This can be due to poor air inlet or mixture. It is normally related to low air into the burner mix. Lint build up or grease can cause vents to reduce or block. A yellow flame is rich in co2, which has a direct link to higher co levels.
Try this....before starting the stove, place a handful of pellets into the burn pot. Start stove with feed rate about 2-3. Let the pellets ignite fully, then turn pellet rate to about 5, less then max. Let a good flame develop for 5 minutes or so, then turn on the fan. I set the fan at about 3-4 as advised by the tech. Reduce feed rate to about 4. I keep my damper on 2 1/2 to 3 to supply air intake. Napoleon is not the greatest stove, and I'm having an issue with mine after 3 years, but hopefully this helps. It will never give the heat of a wood stove, but get a strong fire going first, then tune it down after the room gets warm.
The pilot light can be blown out just by the main gas being ignited especially if the pilot flame is a little weak. Some times a bit of grit gets into the pilot nozzle reducing the flow and hence a weak flame. Try cleaning the piolt jet nozzle with a fine piece of wire. You may have to dismantle the jet nozzle to clean it properly.
the previous owner was on lp gas, you are on natural gas. the orfice ratings are different. call a professional to convert the range back to natural gas.
The air shutter should be completely open. A possible adjustment may be necessary towards the closed position. The orifice needle at the orifice hood may be too tight. Take a 1/2 inch open end wrench and turn the hood counterclockwise to reduce pressure on the needle. Do this with the air shutter completely open. Your flame should reduce in size. The best flame would be about 1 inch long with white tips. Make the adjustments with the flame off. Then light it and check it. If more adjustment is necessary,turn the broiler off before adjusting.
Sounds right long as you did the conversion okay did you change the spring in the reg ? lp gas does burn lower than nat gas smaller blue flame . you could see if the aeration can be adjusted to the burners You could also check the pressure at the burners lp working pressure is 14in wg .
You could check the reg outside . That's all I got .
