I know what you mean but if you read the various articles on the matter it turns out that a decent smartphone with a good app will stay within 5%...
I didn't tested with a lux meter but will give it a try using one of those phone apps. (using the light sensor of the phone). To he naked eye it...
I made some photos in action so you can see what I'm talking about. Lamp on the right is the Sea Anchor clone with new 350CP jet and bad J tube,...
Guys, you got it wrong :) The original Petromax jet leaked because the jet threads are slightly different on the Anchor clones. However the test...
Well, after another round of fiddling with the lamp the Darth Vader breathing and pulsation returned. The major problem that I had was that the...
The common knowledge is that hk350 burns 1 liter for 10 hours and hk500 burns 1 liter for 8 hours. However I found little information about the...
It was clear since you posted the picture of the original J-tube. :) The original mixing chamber was the one with a rim towards the ceramic...
You're welcome. :) Let us know the result.
Tbh it's not as bad as I expected it to be. The longer straight part is strangled a bit just as it starts from the bend. It also looks like the...
Try to take good photos of the J tube and of the mixing chamber with the ceramic nozzle and post them here.
If the J tube is not bent correctly the volume of air is restricted. If the lamp a Sea Anchor? Their quality is the worst I've seen in Chinese clones.
Inspect closely the J tube and see if it doesn't have a "strangled" area on the inner side of the bend. That could very well explain your problem....
In my opinion the root cause of the pulsation is the Leidenfrost effect. If the valve is not opened completely and the spring is weak this causes...
@MYN looks like we were both correct: the adjustment of the lower part of the rod fixed the Darth Vader breathing/heavy pulsation AND the foot...
Actually this is a non-rapid clone but does have a foot valve. The eccentric control assembly now works perfectly, after I figured out the...
I am suspecting a weak foot valve spring at this point. The problem is that I don't have any spare lead spacers so I cannot disassemble the lower...
Thanks, it's not the generator as I already swapped it on another lamp (together with the top assembly) and it was working normally. The only...
I have both an Anchor and a Sea Anchor and the pump cap on this unbranded lamp is identical with the one on the Anchor. The pump cap on the Sea...
Yup, it appears that the 250HK size isn't very common in China. I just got a Solex C200 and the original glass is cracked. Sadly the Chinese...
Unreal. I once ordered 3 phone glass protections, the Chinese seller went trough the trouble of carving a suitable protection out of extruded...
