copy optimus 930

very good friends I tell you that I bought this lamp and it does not have any engraving
copy optimus 930 ????

 

Hi!

Yes, there is no markings, not even on the fuel cap.

How is the Zimbabwe version marked?
Or was that version brass only?

Regards

 

That is a strange one. Definitely a 930 copy, but I have no idea who has made it.

The Zimbabwe version is comparatively well marked.

 

I started it up and it works fine for a few minutes then it starts to release raw fuel.
Does anyone know what is causing this phenomenon?
the kerosene tank is clean plus the pipes and the sprayer

 

Where is the fuel coming from? If unvapourised fuel comes from the jet, then it is not hot enough.

 

Gentlemen, I heated it several times with methylated spirits and the same thing keeps happening.
it is clear that it does not heat enough . I turn it on without the glass and without the hat to test its operation, I hope that is not the problem

 

Hi!

I Think You must heat and clean the Preston loop to clean it. I use to heat with propane torch.

It is probably as Nils previously wrote.

And We love to see pictures of Your progress.
