I would love to see a 2000cp lantern. :shock: I think that's entering light house territory. [ATTACH]
The Chinese repros worked fine, it's just a matter of using the correct spring as the old ones was longer to accommodate the older hex style foot...
It appears you have a Coleman 206. A Kerosene Lantern with a unique feature that it doesn't require alcohol to preheat but the preheat cup is...
@M4v3r1ck I agree with your assessment. Depending, if the fuel well inside the pickup is unable to adequately replenish from such small pickup...
@M4v3r1ck What I also know and I'm not sure if you found out is the 222 pickup metering rod works differently than your standard metered pickup...
@Erwin It's possible that the pickup orifice is insufficient to keeping the pickup adequately filled during operation. Vapor is being consumed at...
@M4v3r1ck @presscall I do have an older 222 lantern with the three position knob and metering rod and it's the easiest lantern to light next to...
@presscall I guess the mystery is solved? Guess we'll never know the root cause of the increased pumping intervals on the 226 and later vs the...
@M4v3r1ck Except for one thing, the net flow entering the generator is way too slow for any atomization to occur in that area once the lantern is...
@presscall It would also explain why some experiments were performed using the original skinnier factory 222 generators on 226's and beyond....
@M4v3r1ck That would explain alot actually, the later peak lanterns had atrocious runtimes inbetween pumps as the pressure is rapidly used up....
Bit strange that the gap allows egress of air.
@presscall Do you have closer photos of the upper holes?
@M4v3r1ck From what I can understand and works similarly to even the current production Powerhouses. At start, pressurized air will take the...
I hope you found a way to refill them, powermax canisters have long since been out of production. I've seen many creative ways in reusing powermax...
@MYN You mention current production completed foot valve assembly are compatible with my 1960's valve body? I wouldn't mind going that route if it...
So It was time I had to go dig in to replace a leaking foot valve that sometimes causes a flame up erupting from the vent while I'm pumping up and...
It looks similar to the stuff here in the states called "Kleanheat"
Honestly no real clue but mixing paddles were a common component with a lot of these style of lanterns prior to the 80s. But they often wore out...
@Marco Carlo Ensure that you're using actual water clear kerosene (K-1) and not the tinted "heating" or tax free pump station kerosene. Another...
Separate names with a comma.
