    Hello all, I fettled this AL8 today.
    It was a fairly easy job, cleaned the fuel tube, flashed out the fount, I use marbles to do this.
    The fount was pretty clean, changed over all the seals and the pump leather was in excellent condition so I kept that.
    Tested the Vaporiser and the burner all good, now time to light this wonderful lamp.
    Here are the money shots.

    Thanks for looking.
