Good Morning all would someone be kind enough to suggest what mantles to use and what globe to use . If feasible to fettle ? Boot fair find this morning .
AFC (Ash Flash Corporation) is a far-eastern copy of one of the Coleman lanterns so one of those globes will fit and also one of the Coleman mantles will be suitable - probably the 21 at a guess. Someone here will know which globe and mantle it is. Fettling should be straightforward. Happy pumping with the little fella!
Thank you for that David If you see. In the picture the band that sits on the tank , is not seated properly it's slightly to the right , Having worked on it this is still the case , looks like l will need to adjust the valve assembly , anti- clockwise a bit unless someone. knows any different , l dunked it and no leaks , knowing l can get the parts l will persevere tanks again. Michael, Upon a hill there stood a dookit it nae there noo cause someone took it.
Got it going Thought I needed a seal for the thread to tank, used thinnest seal I could find . Gave myself more trouble as this had the effect of reducing the flow of fuel ,as I effectively raised the cleaning needle to high , thereby restricting flow of fuel . In conjunction with this--- Had some trouble with the main valve assembly (off centre ) Thought it had been forced to much round and when mounting the frame etc long story short whipped some PTFE tape round thread . Solved centered and no more restriction . Michael The wind the wind the blustery wind that blew the skirts so high, But, god was just and made the dust, that blinned the wicked eye.
Globe arriving tomorrow.moving it on, temptation to fit mantles is horrendous . such a waste . May be yes may be no ???? Michael
It cleaned up well, Martin. What happened to the hole in the collar where the valve stem goes through?
hole in the collar where the valve stem goes through? -Phil I had to trim round the v/v opening, it had a thick coat of rusty gunge behind it ,would not budge, it would have come through the metal at some point. Well spotted. Its not in a collectable condition anyway.
