Stove Top Burner (Yellow Tip Flame)
Our front burner on the stove top has always had a yellow tip flame.   It’s annoying.  The other two burners have a lovely solid blue flame.  So the front burner flame was too lean.  However there’s not an adjustment as everyone knows.

So I removed the burner so I could inspect it more closely.  There’s a plastic sleeve inside the gas tube and it’s suppose to make the connection snug.  Our plastic sleeve was not snug.   So I wrapped the sleeve with one wrap of Aluminum Foil Tape which was enough to make a snug fit.

We now have a beautiful solid blue flame on that burner.  I also wrapped the connections between the burner tube and the tube on the stove on all the burners. 

Hope this helps somebody.

Actually a yellow flame means too little oxygen - too rich. Not sure how your repair worked, but as long as it works, it counts!
