Bought an old worn Yugo that would not cycle. Got suggestions that it was a gas leak and saw an article about wrapping wire around the gas valve nipple to seal where it meets the gas tube. This worked to some extent but decided to look for a better fix. Found a thin 1/2 inch split washer in my washer collection that just fit around the gas
valve nipple and into the flange on the gas tube. It looked like it was made for that purpose. After that modification it shot 58 out of 60 with the two jams being failure to feed properly and not short cycles. I suppose a 1/2 stainless steel snap ring would also serve the purpose. If you're having problems with gas leak try this at your own responsibility and with care. It worked for me. The attached picture shows the washer at the red line.
