Thanks, I'm waiting for my mantles to arrive in order to test. (the old one was destroyed when I was grinding the support). I'm at 15.5mm right...
Thanks Henry. I was presuming that the factory setting was right, as a matter of fact it was WAY off, due to the two cuts of the carburetor...

For 40$ I can buy a Chinese Petromax clone (a brand called EvoTools, no clue which Chinese company is the actual manufacturer) but I have no clue...
