Here's a picture.
I sent her a couple of messages, but have been getting ignored. I got the lantern back together with all new parts. When I pressurize the fount,...
I've never soft soldered anything before or I would try it. JB weld seems to be the easiest, and it should sand down readily since it's soft.
I'll do that. The patches fell off and revealed dents. I'll probably paint it black again, unless there's a shade of gray that will look decent.
Thank you. I'm thinking of repainting the fount. Whatever the previous owner used to fill the dents has come off. I can refill with jb weld or...
Thank you, Ill be sure to orient the valve wheel properly. I'm sorry I wasn't clear in my earlier post. I was referring to clocking the...
How far should turn the fuel valve? Once it was too hard to turn by hand, I tightened it with a wrench but went a little too far so it's not...
Lead washer for check valve appears to be in good shape. I'll re use it. [ATTACH]
I'm not sure what's going on with that patch. It doesn't leak water from it.
I was afraid I might find something bad under the paint. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thank you. I give it a bath in acetone to remove the paint. @Erik Leger The mantles are the old Luxor in the paper pouch. Are the new Luxor...
Will acetone do any damage to the nickel plating under the paint?
More to come once it's working. Are the Luxor mantles collectible? The ones that came with the lantern look like they're in great shape....
The 829B came in today. I'll post some pictures later. The correct markings are on the fount, though there are a couple of dents that were not...
Do you know of anyone using britelyt seals in an original petromax? Something tells me I should stick with what is already known to work well...
I'll do that. Do you think I should buy a spare parts kit from Britelyt? They sell viton seals for the petromax. Would those be better than the...
I found this. I don't know if thicker brass will be better or worse, but it's a little cheaper than the whole carburetor/valve assembly. [ATTACH]
I'm seeing them for sale in Europe, but nothing in the US. Oh well.
Is it possible to buy a carburetor by itself? Or is it necessary to buy a carburetor with the needle and valve attached?
I'll dunk it in acetone for a few hours.
