Well, all mine including the one in its box that looks to have been lit once, has all the kit it was sent out with from the factory, mantles, can,...
Hello Tony and thank you for the update. I started on this "journey", thinking there was a simple tweak that would make a difference. I did note...
I'm intrigued by what I seem to have found after considerable expenditure on time and frustration, as I have a number of lanterns, mainly Preston...
I'm thinking these are just too finicky, and yes, you are correct in there having been much already written. I had this problem with what looked...
Hello George, and I think you should take consolation in not being alone with these. I've one in its original box, that looks for all the world...
Great advice, thank you. I had wondered what best practice for testing the seal round the thread of the jet would be, and you have provided the...
Thank you once again Henry, I do take your point. And thank you all. As I've been banging on about the carburation all along, I still hold that...
Thank you for your observations. I've three of these, all with presumably their original jets, and all are 200's. I've tested all the loops and...

I came across another 930 the other day, and after a quick clean up, it lit and blackened a new mantle just like my others. I do know these are...
Thank you David. I bet I'm not the only person with seals that have blown out on the seemingly later design, in what is actually quite a funny...
Thanks fellas. Just wonder if anyone can throw any light on the point in time the pump orifice was changed please ? I know the shortie is an early...
I recently struck lucky with a short handled X246 Pork Pie. Interestingly the glass is in a blue script, and it is upside down too! This is a deep...
I don't know if any of the following may help, but I use a cheap hardware stores drain cleaner (with caustic soda) to clean the gunge out of the...
I recently had to deal with a 169 vaporiser from which the cleaning wire could not even be removed as it was so choked with carbon. I tried...
TVM Henry, I am grateful for your views which are probably from experience. I had to clean both of these out from the outset (amongst a good many...
I'm probably asking for someone to go over old ground here, and this topic must have cropped up fairly often before on here, but I can't find...
