Aha, I can see from this thread that it may not be such an easy fix, I'll try some of the suggestions mentioned here: Tilley is pulsing/hunting
My ol' faithful Handi hasn't been used for a while, I used it last night (power cut), and it was pulsing. Any ideas? (It was fairly low on kero,...
You are, indeed, a light in our firmament Mr Press! :clap:
Yes, just got the notification. Very sad that Austramax is closing. It's an excellent lamp, and I hope spares will be around for a long time....
Excellent Myn! I wonder if you could get a gloss by wet 'n dry (down through the grades to 2000 should give a nice semi-gloss). After initial bake?

My 'Gas' Coleman, -TBH I'm not really game to start it on Petrol, but is it worth me trying to run it on Meths?
I love mine, -with a modicum of TLC it goes beautifully (for now anyway!) It's such an easy starter as Fireexit1 says. and it's very handsome....

[ATTACH] The brighter side of a power-cut. Nice evening yesterday with the only sound the light hiss of the 3 lamps I had ready to go. You can...
