Coleman 201 2-80

I bought this Coleman 201 recently. The main issue with it was the NRV not sealing. It appears that oil used on the pump cup had hardened inside the NRV preventing it from sealing. Cleaning the NRV in situ didn’t work on this one, but after removal of the NRV for a long soak in degreaser plus a new fuel cap washer, it’s running well.

 

Shake my head in dismay that you can just walk up on a great lantern like that. lol What a beauty.

 

Very nice example, the one I've got works superbly, i love the bulge globe on the 201, gives it stylish looks.

 

It's in very good condition

 

A fine example.

 

My 201 is one of my favorite users

 

Wow, those 201's sure look the part.
Good job getting it operational again.
Cheers

 

40-year-old oil can do that I guess.
