A brass gun brush and some oven cleaner to decoke is one way. There's a lot of different ways to go about it if you searched around enough here.
The phenomenon is called surging or hunting and the reason is insufficient packing material inside your generator, I would tear apart that...
I'm sure that was the idea of the foot valve but they're always never perfect. There's a reason why Coleman opted for a positive shut off in their...
Good to see it sorted! Happy lighting! :content:
Sometimes if you leave the bleeder screw closed on the manometer cap, the kero will slowly off gas, and or barometric pressure changes in the...
Whatever to the good 'ole grease spot test?
No, there's a metal disk that popped off from the underside of the hood. [ATTACH]
Was running my petromax when this happened: [ATTACH]
It's good to see some creative *franking* as the folks from Coleman Collector Forum calls it (the art of frankenstiening) and this is no...
The oriface/jetting on the 220 is way too big for that tiny burner assembly. Unlike a normal 220 air tube where the generator has enough space to...
I remembered reading that somewhere with that particular milspec, the issue was the generator I remembered correctly. Anyways I make it a common...
Bit disappointing that one of the 829's scored a 255. Makes me wonder if the mantle was undersized.
I think I'll get some nickel antiseize, this is a relatively new vaporizer from old stock from Stuga Cabana, so the threads are still sharp on...
Would they still be easy to disassemble for decoking at a later time?
Any more experience? Loosening threads are annoying and unpredictable. I could survive like 5 firings and boom, flare up during preheat.
Seems extreme but still looking for valid input on antiseize to seal a jet that likes getting loose.
So I'm sure this has plagued petromax owners at some point where the tip loosens and the mantle overflames, cooking your vent. Now I've heard...
I can attest to the poor quality it makes me wonder if I should have gotten a kerolite instead.
Lye spray like oven cleaner is great for removing cruddy dirt film and filth from metals. Be careful with citric acid, that stuff is great for...
That style toggle for the rapid torch is a later 1960s and later design.
