@max messing Wouldn't a regular 201 generator fit?
@Bushfella Another cause can be a loss of pressure that causes a cooler flame and a drop in the generator vaporizing volume.
@Andy66 its a brown but not the deep chocolate colour. @Reese Williams i only use Coleman type fuels. I’m going to try distilling my own pump gas...
Update: My homegrown metal mantle disintegrated today. It took 14 months to give up the ghost. The metal became brittle where the flames were...
Judging by the first pic, your air pressure is too low. That could be part of your problem.
I'm going to try this idea for my RH57 which still has an asbestos mantle in good condition. Looks great.
I doubt that JB weld can tolerate those high temps. My choice would be to either tap oversize and use a stepped down stud or braze the burner hole...
@Tony Press thanks for the compliment. I like the idea of experimenting with different mantles. The references help a lot
You might have a crack in the vaporizer. The 1/4” gap in the mantle is needed to vent adequately. I found this out while designing my own mantle....
@David Shouksmith I used this shape to imitate the shape of the steel mesh mantles. I never dawned on me to make a cylindrical mantle. Yesterday I...
I came across this post while searching for something else. Thought I would post some feedback. The metal mod is still working well without any...
Im very impressed. That is an extensive collection of interesting items besides the lamps.
@AussiePete I'm curious as well about the longevity. I couldn't see spending $25 US for a replacement metal one that lasted less than a year.
My Tilley’s metal screen mantle burned up prematurely. It barely lasted a year. I went back to my asbestos one but wanted another metal mantle. I...
Another observation is the amount they shrink. I’ve had the 300 to400 cp mantles touch the base of the lantern before lighting. After the first...
I also noticed that they seem to be more flexible without breaking. A used mantle feels softer as well. This is compared to the Peerless.
I have tried these and found them to be bright despite being non radioactive. They also seem fairly durable. Can't beat the price. Mine arrived in...
Looks good. The asbestos mantle gives it more character I think. I put my mantle away and am using the steel one.
I have bought from www.hurricanelamps.co.uk They supply Petromax and Sea Anchor parts. Prices are reasonable.
Could it be needing more of a preheat then the original?
