Excellent Tony thanks for the advice. I'll try that.
My Coleman - (I think it's a 249 Scout) needs the NRV fixing. But it is a very different arrangement than most of my other brands. Can anyone...
Good stuff Tony. useful info. Thanks. Can I ask, when you say 'bad' vaporiser, can you elaborate 'bad' - caused by what? Is it blockage? is the...
Thx for the tips Jeff, I'll try cleaning the fuel feed today.
What a good idea for a pre-heater, I'll make one of those today! Nice lamp... love the fire-engine red.
Good idea Tony (test by substitution!) I have a few Tilleys that I can swap parts over. I disassembled and cleaned the vaporiser on the 'dullard'...
[ATTACH] Two of my Tilleys... A 246b that seems to be okay-(if not very bright), and a Guardsman which burns very dull. It starts okay, and runs...
OR... I wonder if 'gun blue' would do the trick. Just not sure how it would cope with the heat.
Sounds good to me Colin, why not add the Butterfly, sure we have x3 slightly different globe measurements, couldn't we just list as 'Variation#1,...
Well, there's no evidence at all of 'home-made' alterations. All looks pretty unbodged under the magnifier. You say the "wire just screws in..."...
Norman, that link is VERY useful, thanks so much. If I can get the packing nut I'm sure I can 'do' the graphite packing with what I have in stock.
Regarding the probs getting on to the Stoves site... There are NO Captcha questions when I try to sign up. Yet it says I haven't answered the...
Apologies... I've been trying to sign up to the 'sister site' Camping stoves, but it won't let me, keeps telling me the 'captcha' isn't working......
Here's a pic. The pricker end (about 25mm long total, -about 20mm showing in pic), has a very fine thread, so it can be unscrewed and removed. And...
My Butterfly is a model 928. and as close as I can measure, the globe would be 115mm diameter, (maximum), by about 115mm height, straight sided....
Thanks Myn, very helpful.
Oooh yes they're SO similar, maybe it's an Aladdin. Strange that there's no branding on it. (Not that I can see anyway). What should I do about...
Been trying to identify this... looks like a Radius? [IMG] I rather like it, dunno why. Only problem is that the pricker is U/S. I'll need to...
Butterfly globe... Must be very approx 110 dia x 100 high. ? -I'll need to take it apart to measure more accurately.
Just (IMHO) be a bit wary of tank 'liners' like POR. Most of them are just Epoxy resin based. Motorbike tank repairs 'may' be successful, and it...
