    Hi all
    I found this Primus 1010
    I searched on the gallery but ....:doh:
    Have you ever seen such a mounting ? Could it be a special french mounting ?

    The burner looks to be sitting too high with respect to the reflector.

    This is not standard and has to be a home-made adaptation. Primus would not have made such a significant change (even for just one country) without changing the number.

    As Tony mentions, I don't think this would work very well with the missing burner dome so high.

    The 1010 should have a burner from the Primus 1000 series family. HERE's a cross-section.
    For example fitted to my 1010 HERE

    Great heater, you should be able to find a usable parts burner from a 1001 lantern or similar. It wont be exactly correct but it would be functionable.

    Thank you all
    Before asking the question, I had obviously thought of a DIY
    This specific burner from Primus may not be easy to find here in France, but I study all the proposals :lol:
    What is the role of the controller below? Is there a needle cleaning system on these 1010s ?

    Yes, these heaters use the same type of cleaning needle mechanism as e.g. the 1001 lanterns or 1015 lamps.

    Humm I doubt to find a wreck of 1001 or 1015 Primus lantern here in France
    thank you all, I am going to dismantle and see the inside mechanism but I am pretty sure this is empty :-k

    Hello @Michel
    Cool heater. In the reference gallery there is a thread I posted on my 1010 heater. It shows what it should look like.
    I hope it helps
