Could some kind member please give me a link or website for a seal kit for a 1550,I do remember nils talking about fogas an a nice gentleman who I could email in English. I've tried Google but I'm unable to understand the language. Any help would be brilliant. Thanks all. Gozzy
The link for fogas is http://www.fogas.se/shop/1778---servicesats-till-optimus-1550/ email conny@fogas.se fogas are good, but shipping is expensive, you may be able to pick up the parts you need from base-camp.co.uk for less overall.
Thanks HD I will check it out, my only problem with base camp is it ordered a needle an jet for a optimus 200 an the needle would not go through jet so I told them an they sent me another set an it was the same as first set! I was not happy! After dissecting the first jet there was a clear burr on edge of hole inside jet, very poor quality. Think I prefer to pay more for quality. Thank you very much for your help. Gozzy.
Ah, quite possibly an aftermarket part, I'm not sure if there are many of the genuine optimus jets left. I use a petromax 250 jet and needle in my 200 I believe all of the service parts for a Petromax 500CP will fit if that helps. base-camp and pelam.de can supply those.
Yes I believe your right about petromax seals I just remembered a topic here about fogas an thought it would ask, if anybody thinks about somewhere else please don't hesitate to tell, much appreciated. Gozzy.
Just an FYI - the optimus 250 & 200 jets & needles that you can get from Korea from e-bay have been fine for me (e.g. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-pcs-Needles-for-HK200-Kerosene-Lantern-Lamp-Optimus-Petromax-Aida-Butterfly-/321949599217?hash=item4af5b105f1:g:dcgAAOSwbqpT9t3B ) - no connection other than as satisfied customer etc (although shipping is not cheap!)
