Hello Does anyone have any ideas as to what causes a lantern to pulse? My 1200 pulses,not to badly but it is slightly annoying. I gave other Optimus lanterns and they are fine. Any suggestions would be welcome Cheers. Trevor
Not enough heat, not enough pressure, not enough maintenance ;-) Did you adjust the peddle in the mixing tube if there is one? Well deployed mantle ? Right size mantle > heat ?
My guess would be a partly blocked preston loop or too much gap between the cleaning rod and the section of the vaporiser between the preston loop ends.
Hi WimVe Thanks for the info,but I reckon I have cured the problem in that I just changed the jet,why that should cause it to pulse is beyond me as the lantern is fairly new (well unused) It certainly is not lack of maintenance as I like to keep them in tip top working order There is no peddle to adjust so it couldn't have been that. I checked the gap on the loop and that seemed ok Best regards.....Trevor
Hi Nils Cured the problem by changing the jet Why that should cause it to pulse I don't know,but it is running good now Best regards. Trevor
