I ended up owning an older Anchor clone which was in a rather bad shape. After a few hours of fettling I got it to work quite nice with one...
So, it turns out that the Sea Anchor does the orange inferno regardless of the jet used. The top with the J tube works when used on the Anchor so...
Well, after about 2 hours of flawless work, the Anchor started to pulsate badly. I turned it off, then upon attempting to restart it ... bam......
Well, it wasn't the jet, as I installed the old 500CP jet and needle on the Anchor lamp and it works. Has a halo around the mantle so it is...
Like the one used for squealing brakes? (on the bottom of the piston and so on)
Sadly no, I don't have anything suitable for holes that small.
Thanks Matti, I'll try to get some.
Well, I purchased a totally messed up Anchor 350CP clone (old style, no rapid torch) which also came with a bunch of much needed spares, including...
Thanks for the advice. I was thinking at the aluminum foil as well. Will test with a new jet and see how it goes. As a precaution I won't...
Let's just narrow it down to "something not from China" :mrgreen: How many times one should expect to be able to pass the needle trough the jet...
George, I believe that the nozzles/jets are usually enlarged by the steel needle going back and forth trough them. So probably the number of...
Just had a clone jet get badly enlarged after 4-5 uses (probably 10 hours or so in total). It may have had something with wrapping some aluminum...
I got 99% technical alcohol (a mix of meth, ethanol and isopropylic) today (had to drive almost 1 hour in total for a product that costs 1 pound /...
Thanks for the advice :) I double checked that too when sorting out the generator foot valve. The whole assembly works as designed now. I even...
Foot valve was a very easy fix, just unscrewed the bottom gen, took apart the valve and discovered that the gasket had jumped out of it's place on...
Update: generator foot valve no longer holds even with the lamp cold. It takes only a few pumps and the fuel starts bursting trough the jet. I...
To cut it very short, the lamp turns into a raging inferno when the valve control disc is turned with the arrow down. If turning it up (so the...
Sorry for the delay, somehow missed the alert and thought there were no other replies. I ended up purchasing another fuel (specific lamp fuel,...
Actually I live quite close to one of Bucharest's airports and even asked to buy from them but stupidly enough they have no legal means of taking...
Btw, pics are taken with the Petromax clone at 3 bar. At 2 bar the light is clearly dimmer and almost orange when seen from 3 meters or so..
