Kevin, do as you wish, however removing the tip cleaning lever is seldom required unless it's leaking. if it's seized use heat to try and break it...
That's a real beauty! I was lucky to locate a 1A here in the states last year.
Locating a Coleman 295 that's not rusted shouldn't be difficult as many thousands were made. However, Coleman advertises the 295 as Dual Fuel and...
Toilet bowl cleaner on all non painted parts will remove rust and other types of crud. And then a polish of your choice.
Progress indeed! Congratulations.
Also remember to spin the tip cleaning several lever several times while running if it appears to be dim.
The 24A is a 500cp mantle which is better suited for 500cp lanterns such as the 237 or 639 kerosene lanterns etc. I would use a Coleman 21 or a...
Did you remove the valve in order to remove and clean the f/a tube? And did you clean out the air tubes? What size mantle are you using?

Now that's funny! Enjoy your coffee, Pete.
Good luck! The 220/228 Colemans can be a real PITA to disassemble. Looking forward to your results.
I would remove the generator, pressurize the lantern and open the the valve slightly until fuel begins to flow. Assuming at that point you have...
When you say "other lantern" what model and year is it? It would be easier to help you if we had that information.
Motor oil works just fine but if the leather is torn you may want to replace it. They're inexpensive at OCP. It's also helpful to clean the the...
That's a very nice pair. Especially the 228. Here in the states Coleman 228's are somewhat common. I have a C,D and an F model 228 and they'll...
Kerosene is cheaper than camp fuel and it's just a fun project to undertake. That's all.
If you're confident the lantern is holding pressure and there's enough fuel in the fount, once the lantern begins to run, spin the tip cleaning...
What model and year is it?
Separate names with a comma.
