    I think I have some diaphragm material around here. Have to see how big my hole punches go.

    For future reference the check ball in a 132a lantern is 5/32nd. I seated a new ball and reinstalled the check valve. It now pumps up very nicely....

    Yes I am. My problem is I can not get the mantles to quit flaming and brighten up. I am assuming I have fuel and possibly air passages that are...
