We just installed a new cooktop, replacing a whirlpool one that was over 20 years old and looked like it. I had a problem with this cooktop 2 years ago:

The flame on this was so low that we couldn't boil water. I looked to replace the regulator again and couldn't find a replacement but we figured it was time to just get a better looking cooktop anyway. So we bought the Frigidaire from Home Depot and I installed it today. I also replaced the flex connector from the regulator to the gas shutoff value. Checked for leaks and fired the first burner up.
The first burner worked great, good high and low flames so I tried another burner. It started but immediately the flames on both burners decreased about 50% on high. A third burner was lit and the flames decreased further to being hardly on. A fourth burner could not be lit.
There is one more item I can replace, the gas shutoff value for this line and I plan to do that tomorrow. If that fails, do I have a gas pressure problem going to this cooktop?
Thanks,
