[ATTACH] Finally found a 2/300 for a bargain locally which will now be the oldest of my Austramax collection (6). Coincided with the arrival of my...
Thanks @JEFF JOHNSON, that’s exactly what I did last night, the pickup tube was definitely restricted. I also tore down the cock again, hit it...
Thanks @Darryl Durdin, was a thin copper washer in the end. I am now the proud owner of a Handi NRV removal tool. Helps to have a willing mate...
[ATTACH] Good evening. I picked up a reasonable condition Tilley. Seals were hard, pump cup perished but otherwise looked great. It needed a...
Got this great condition KeroPet. A real survivor in top condition all-round. Got ifbfor half the asking price too. Barely used I assume, the...

Wondering how you went with the valve removal? I have exact model as yours and was going to remove for a thorough clean.
Really minimal work to get this fired up. Managed to free up the NRV (will need attention) and pressure tested ok. Preheated and away she went....
Brilliant thanks Tony
Done a quick tear down and it’s all fairly reasonable. Will need a few cap seals but pump cup leather is tidy. The jet pricker is alive and well....
I’ll stick to the Kero then Robbo
Thank you Nils, appreciated.
