@WimVe It is workable with kerosene, though the person in this thread did light it inside where the air is stable with no breeze, and likely deep...
@MYN @Gilbert Every fettle I do, I always start decoking the vaporizer, it can go a long way. You probably have too much deposits inside the...
I'm still thinking the jet oriface is washed out. His tube looks to be at the correct height and doesn't appear to have any internal obstruction....
Are you pumping enough pressure, gauge should be at around 2.5 bar and no less than the red line during normal operation.
@Gilbert You could, but you're gonna need a second heat source, does your lantern come with a preheat cup and have Denatured alcohol on hand. A...
@Tony Press I absolutely share that sentiment as it hearkens me back to my very first pressure lamp, it was a current production petromax....
Cabana is one.
Tin foil works too,
Current clamping method for the jtube in my opinion is inferior to past designs using threaded jam nuts or strap that grips the tube. Optimus 1550...
As reliable as many seem to claim, be mindful that the vaporizer from a tilley is almost nigh non-servicable, it's basically a disposable component.
It'll drop.... frequently.. if not properly tighten, usually to the point the screw pushes an indent in the J-tube. It'll also sometimes drop due...
The slot is the screw to adjust the mixing paddle, you typically adjust that "last" as the documentation indicates this controls the brightness,...
Careful now, you still have the inefficient straight vaporizer. It's really easy to upset when running kero. If you still have the brass mesh, id...
Not really, sounds like your jet is working loose or the oriface is worn and wallowed if you haven't replaced them yet. Your J-tube should...
The needle will wobble since you don't have it fully threaded, it'll askew and possibly bend/break when you cycle the knob. Also possible the...
Yes, you are to adjust by the threads on the eccentric
And the correct 500cp needle also? Failing to do so will irrecoverably ream out that kero jet to be the same oriface size as the gasoline jet.
What's wrong with a 639C? Coleman's adjustable brightness kerosene lantern? Very reliable. [ATTACH]
Still think you need to change jets and needle at the very least with one from a kero vaporizer. Gasoline oriface is way too big. Making the...
@Gilbert A properly tuned 829s would make a 220 look like a nightlight you plug into the wall. I have here a propane dual mantle which should be...
