Les, I don't know if the new CV tool comes with instructions or not. I bought mine from the original maker many years ago. According to him the...
Dumb question but I've got to ask. You are turning the pump knob a couple turns counter-clockwise before you pump, right?
Rereading my post, you may have only one problem, a completely clogged CV. I'd hold off on messing with the snorkel until you remove the CV.
The body filler will not be the cause of the check valve not working. Look at this rather fuzzy picture. [ATTACH]The snorkel on the lantern is...
This picture is a stove tank, but lanterns are built the same. [ATTACH] The pump has a snorkel (circled in green) at the end. Yours is probably...
Here's a thread I did a few years ago that includes some detailed info on the PW works. The example is a L13 but the guts are the same on the 43s...
@Jörg Wekenmann Reasonably sure the photo of the lantern in the shelter with the two soldiers is WWI or at latest early 1930s. The uniforms are...
Look through the AGM section here, good chance you'll find a match. Index
@Adam Lemke You misunderstood. You need an AGM pump. Coleman has a separate part, called the air screw, a square rod with a threaded, pointed...
AGM begat Queen Stove begat King-Seeley begat Thermos. You need to take a picture inside the pump tube so that the check valve at the bottom is...
Nut is 1/4 - 20 Old Coleman Parts will have everything you needs and ships to the UK.

Go over to the Coleman Collector's Forum and use the search feature. Lots of threads on Akron products there. Old Coleman Parts is the starting...
Very restorable. The generator screws into the valve and the pricker is a rack and pinion type mechanism. Understand how it works before you start...
Your lantern was made for Sears by AGM, American Gas Machine. The first three digits of a Sears model number is a manufacturer's code. 710 for...
OCP sells the non-asbestos tube that was used in later generators. I don't know if it will fit the 236 coil. Message to Rob at OCP and he could...
You can clean Coleman generators. A repeated series of heat and quench cycles will break up most of the carbon build up. Unscrew the tip, remove...
The most amazing part is that the fount isn't riddled with stress cracks. Nice lantern.
Just a small radiant heater, like adding a heat drum to a Coleman single burner stove.
The biggie is that pip in the end of the valve stem. That's what controls the air/fuel mix on start up. Make sure the pip is good and the spring...
