    My lamp lights well but after 2 minutes starts to pulse between on & off. Never seen this problem before. The generator seems fine from all observations . Any ideas???

    Regards

    Could be a pressure leak - check the cap seal first

    One odd thing about these is that sometimes a poor seal in the valve gland can cause a poor burn. We have not yet worked out how this works since you would expect that a leak would just vent fuel but some US collectors have found that if this gland seal is not right the lamp will not run right. ::Neil::
