Here's one I've been putting off way to long to get started on. But when I finally decided to dig in I kept going until it was finished. I got to...
Great piece! Original finish correct?
Correct. You can use the iron gen orfice also, but the Q gen tips allow the pricker to clear the orfice a turn or two sooner in my experience....
Well done! That's tedious work, but well worthwhile.
Under that screen will be a small orfice. This orfice and screen need to be spotless as well as the fount and fuel you run for the instant light...
It's worth a shot. I use bronze wool because I have it, but try the screen. If it pulses you need more or a different material.
That's what you needed!
Yessir!
You'll have to remove the valve stem from your valve to be able to tell if it's threaded. Click on that link I shared above and I should have all...
@Remus1956 the steel Q77's are fairly common. I'm guessing they were sold through the war years. As far as converting to a T88, the first step is...
The T88 was rather short lived and troublesome. Coleman decided the Q77 was much more user for their dirtier fuel of the era. I've built T88...
The Q99 & Q77 gens used an un-shielded (flat topped) 0.008" orfice. The R55 would use the same size orfice, but have a built in shield to protect...
Looks like it will be an easy one from here. Low mileage rig it seems. Happy fettling!
For those running the gallery, I was not certain where to place this one as it's a bit of an oddball. I've only seen a couple. Unmarked, but built...
This is the style pump/check valve I would suspect your lantern should have. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Then you will need the AGM pump to match. I cannot find my photos at this time, but when I get to work I can grab some.
And does the check valve have a slotted air stem?
Yes, that appears to be a Coleman style pump. Can you see the check valve in the pump tube?
@David Cully I can't speak for certain on Canadian models, but that mixing chamber would definitely be post 1930 for US model Quicklites and I...
I'm not certain where the cheapest place for you to pick one up will be, but they are the same bail used by the very common 200/200A models...
Separate names with a comma.
