Sorry my mistake the R stamped jet is for my 635. Need to get my hands on a K6 generator. In the meantime I’ll order another of the new types as...
I have not run it for long after the rebuild. I could try to run it with the mantle on and no glass or hood and see if it does settle.
Many thanks for all your replies. Yes the part number is correct but I have no way of measuring the hole size of the jet. Before fitting it I...
Yes that’s correct It burns as in the photos but when a mantle is tied on it burns outside the mantle. I’ve tried reducing the pressure in the...
Yes the correct kerosene is being used. I could give Amish mix a try how do I do that?
Do you mean unscrewing the burner head or separating the two halves of the frame? I have had the head off and checked inside and as far as I can...
The tank has about half a litre in it and as per the photos the first photo is ten pumps and the other is twenty five pumps. I am a beginner at...

Hi This is my new Petromax 829. I’ve cleaned it up and serviced it and it runs great really bright. I like the reflector it came with are these...
Many thanks for your reply. After a bit of research I see you are right and so will change it to the ceramic one
Hi I have got my hands on a petromax 829 and it has a metal burner nozzle instead of a ceramic one. Should I change this for a ceramic one and...
I will keep my eye out on the auction sites for the older versions and hopefully temporary use a new one to get the lamp working
That would explain why I can’t find a brown one. I’ll have to change both to blue.
Hi All Does anyone know where I can get a Petromax on off control wheel in the brown colour from? Base Camp do it in blue #111 but I need the...
I will leave it as it is at the moment because it has a clear lacquer on it and I don’t want to remove that and make a mess
