Not ignoring previous advice but slowly working my way back to locate the blockage,yes the pump is working and pressurizing the tank, as for the...
I didn't have petrol in it but paraffin and I removed the jet, pumped it up and no fuel came out which is why I backtracked and looked inside the...
UPDATE: On further investigation the issue maybe another problem, I used one of those endoscopy things and took some images inside the tank and it...
The reason I think maybe a broken needle is from watching a couple of some blowlamps on utube and the needle does appear to be longer in the...
I suspect that part of the needle valve may have broken off and caused the problem. I have another blow lamp so can try heat & quench,...
Butler 200 k blow torch. I have a blocked jet and the prickers I have are from Optimus and too thick a diameter (see images) Any suggestions as to...
This has been a good learning curve for me as I have several `paraffin` items from 30+ years and were stored in the attic, I have today brought...

I have played around with the spring and rebuilt, I gave a doz or so pumps and lit it, it maintained pressure for several minutes, just used it to...
Martin, the surface appears to be ok. Henry, I will try another spring and see if that works.
Bladon blowtorch, I have pre heated, pressurised it and it works, however there is leakage in the pump, checked with soapy water and also appears...

This is just some of the stuff I have from a photo I took years back before I packed them away. [ATTACH]
I say I think because I packed it (2 of them) away in the attic about 30 years ago, but will shortly be bringing them back out along with an...
ColinG, I would appreciate if you would do that for me.
ok, thanks for your help with this,I think I have got familiar now with how it all works and should manage a successful repair. Thanks all for...
I managed to unscrew the end cap, using a couple of nails and pliers which thankfully worked as per image. Can I reverse the cork pip and reuse or...
Yes it looks like the only option. I'll give it a go tomorrow. I am a bit nervous though as I half expect something will break off.
Tested with bubbles, I would say a little leakage, I have now taken the tube out (see image) where do I go from here how do I dismantle the return...
Good idea, I will need to try and seal the `flame` nozzle though as that does not have a shut off valve on this model so any pressure would...
