I have used them on other lamps, with similar problems. I just put an order for 200-300cp mantles from Luxor, i will give them a try.
The lamp is very stable, it burns that way until it runs out of fuel or pressure. I changed all the gaskets, there is no leaks and there is enough...
Compared the light beside my Petromax 500, and the Primus 1020 light is far less intense, and alot more into the red/yellow part of the spectra.
I tried JonD's advice, using a Petromax 500cp mantle instead, and the problem disappeared. My other lamps that did run OK on the old mantles did...
That was the first thing i checked! :)
I tried changing the jet, but all the jets i tried give the same result. The lamp does burn nicely with the rinse needle inserted though.
The carb was indeed full och carbon build up on the walls of the tube. I still have the same problem though, burning nicely in the beginning and...

I Just finnished restoring this Primus 1020 from 1933 with new gaskets, jet and needle. The lamp ignites and burnes, but im not really happy with...
The old jet, that was mounted when i bought the lamp is completely void of any markings. The lamp did have a glow baloon on it, and it looked...
I got the "Service pack" from www.fogas.se, but needed another needle so i got that separate(se picture, also from fogas). Yes, the new jet is...
Success! Removed the restraint and the lamp works like a charm :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I cant find any number on the new jet, but i can always test the old one and see if it works better. The carb and air-tube seams clear and free...
I am restoring a Primus 1020, and have got a seal kit and changed all the seals, the jet and the needle, as well as the glas. But i cant light...
It seams that a bit of handiness is a good thing to have when using lanterns, today my "quick starter" started to malfunction, it hasnt worked...
Thanx everyone! I did some tests with my Petromax 500, with the tank 50% full, and the pressure at max(0.3MPa) it burns for about 3-4h before...
Hi! I found a Primus 1020 on a flee market that im currently rebuilding with new gaskets, and while doing that i also got a Petromax/Britelyt...
