Jim -
It may or may not be the regulator, and it still might be the pigtails. On the Alpine, there were times I could start the propane generator, it would run for about 15 seconds and then die. I could walk over to the stove, and light it after about a 5 second wait. If I lit all three burners, then tried to start the furnace, all the burners would go out and the furnace wouldn't light.
What it was . . . the pigtails! There is the anti-surge valve in those pigtails that somehow gets damaged to the point that one can use low flow propane applications, but don't try anything else! I went through several Camco and Mr. Heat (from CW) pigtails, only to face the same thing in a few months! Talk about frustration! I finally got a couple of pigtails from a marine store (Jamestown Distributors) that would not have a messed up anti-surge after a couple of months. But they were very pricey pigtails! So the decision was - buy new CW Mr. Heat pigtails every three months or one set of marine-rated pigtails.
So, yes, it might be the regulator, but it could also be the pigtails. Cheaper to replace one pigtail and give it a go first.
But, that's just my thoughts.
