Is it bad to adjust the needle by using the threads on the needle to adjust the height?
I'm using the needle that came with the petromax, it's a little longer than the others, but it measures .22mm. The new needle measures .20mm.
@MYN I measured two needles, one was .20mm, the other was .22mm. The original needle was .22mm. I'm using a new jet.
I'm using a kerosene jet.

I'm using petromax mantles. I will try that with the jet to see if it's leak free. I had a few spare jets and found one that did not leak. To...
@MYN The jet of fuel from the nipple is straight when cold, the nipple is new, so is the needle. The air gap is in spec. However, the carburetor...
Wow that is impressive. I can't wait to get mind running properly.
@Dashwood Are the petromax 829s dimmer than the the coleman 220s?
@MYN I don't have any 300/350cp gas jets. I can get a new carburetor from Britelyt it's a thicker version of the original. Would that be a...
Hi all, I adjusted the air gap to its proper dimension. My mantle burns dimly, but at least I don't have any leaks. Everything is adjusted...
I'll focus on getting a Preston loop carburetor. This is what it looks like now. It sputters and when it sputters, the mantle is momentarily...
@Dashwood No I would be terrified haha. Is the Amish mix considered unsafe to use the vent in the fuel cap to shut it off? My next purchase will...
What about mixing kerosene with white gas? Will that help the straight generator work better?
@Dashwood I will adjust that next. Here is what I have after changing the needle and nipple again. No more flames. Could the dim mantle be...
@Dashwood I'll change those parts out. One thing about the gap between the jet nozzle and the J tube. I can't get the gap any wider than...
@WimVe, The foot valve feels like it's operating properly. It was lined up correctly and moves up and down as it should. I'm not leaking fuel any...
Okay I'm putting it back together now. I've got the needle set right at 1mm. I couldn't get the mesh filter back in the generator. I have it all...
@Dashwood @Reinhard I'll keep it it. Are there any issues with my foot valve assembly?
Here is the foot valve I installed earlier. This is the order it was installed as well. Does anyone see any problems? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
