I started to fettle my, new to me , Goldmohar 561 and when i pump it is not taking any pressure. I pulled the nrv and it looks good. Any other ideas? I believe it is a Pmax 821 clone. What else should i try?
If it has a leather pump washer, then you could soak it in oil for a while and then try it again. It's also a good idea to check the seals on the fuel cap/pressure gauge.
If it is not pressuring, then there are only really two possibilities: The pressure is not getting in, or The pressure is getting out 1: Pressure is not getting in: Pump not working correctly - As Jeff says: Make sure your leather pump washer is good - soak in oil or replace. NRV not letting pressure in - but you say it looks good - and I suspect you would feel that when you pump 2: The pressure is getting out: Leaks - Check/Replace your seals - Pump seals - Fuel Cap/Pressure gauge - the pressure gauge itself Perhaps the leak might be up in the control cock? Vapouriser? Holes in the fount(??!?!) Perhaps submerge in water and start pumping , see if you can see any tell tale bubbles. Polybus
I’m restoring an Adia. I too am having pressure problems. Got the check valve working but I want to replace all of the washers/seals. Where can I purchase parts in the US? Thanks Polybus!
The AIDA is identical to the Petromax lantern. Look for a Px dealership or go to the internet via fleabay or another digital market.
