I have just acquired a x 359. I am trying to get the pre burner to work, but as per previous posts the gasket is munched up in the pre burner. Does anyone know where I can get this part ? Or has anyone had a crack at making one ?. Any advise would be welcome as the lamp is in really good condition.
There is an image of this part here http://0flo.com/index.php?threads/2374 I don't know of any having been reproduced so I guess making your own is about the only way here. ::Neil::
The 13th labour of Hercules was to get one of these preheaters working. My advice is to block off the jet with a piece of rubber and then light it with a meths torch. James.
James is right. They are a rare thing to find complete on the lamp and even then mostly they don't work very well if at all. Often these lamps have the torch removed and a bolt screwed in because they didn't work. Seal it off and use a meth torch. ::Neil::
Thanks for your help James. Do you mean I can just seal the jet and leave the burner in place once its sealed. Or do I have to put a plug in the tank and remove the pre burner. I would like to keep the pre burner in place to keep it original
