Hi, Again, thanks Myn for the observations. What I thought was a burping noise associated air passing back by the leather cup, was just as you...
I'm learning. My pump is the kind with the leather cup, sandwiched between a brass washer and a brass nut. This slips over the pump shaft and is...
Thanks for the input. I drained my tank and refilled with fresh Kerosene. I pumped it up to about 1.5 bar. My pump is still poor. It took me over...
Well, I tried Myn's suggetion. Now I've done something. I guess I put too much bronze wool into the vaporizer. When I tried to start it, it never...
Another question or 2. My second startup using Diesel. This time, I tried the fast torch starter. It didn't go as well. The torch seemed to have a...
Thanks for the links. I was able to navigate and find the Lea Hin story (and some others). It was pretty fascinating. Those of us living in the...
Can someone tell me which "flavor" of Butterfly I have? It is has a chromed steel tank. It was originally imported to Canada. I uploaded a photo...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Thanks, guys for the info. I finished reassembling the lantern. The pump just wouldn't work well. I installed the...

HI, Just picked up my first Kerosine Pressure Lantern. Butterfly 828 / 350cp. "Slightly Used" was the description. But, no sign of any lighting,...
Well, more success. I found some 0.2mm accupuncture needles. I had to pull the screen out of the Bray 14l burner. I was able to get both orifices...
Hi. I've been busy with other things that kept me away from the lamp. Saturday, I tried testing my Lucas Calcia Cadet in earnest. My previous test...
Was this lamp used as-is for illumination? Did it have a reflector? Or was it used for some other purpose. It's huge compared to the smaller ones.
Hi, thanks or the additional information. Perhaps I should post a photo of all of my parts. I've rebuilt a Justrite and Autolite miner's lamp, so...
These are the threads on the water tube I was talking about. I seem to have all of the other parts, including the lens, lens clips, a plate that I...
Should I have started a new thread, or was it OK to add my issues to this one? They are related since I'm working on a Lucas Calcia Cadet No. 133.
My first try at photos. Thanks for the photos, John. If my upload worked, this is what I have. The burner is: BRAY 364 CETO 14 LITERS. You can see...
Thanks for the information, John. I did notice that the burner on my Justrite appeared to have a ceramic insert with the extremely fine orifice. I...
I know this is an older thread, but I thought it would be the best place for my question. I just picked up a Lucas Calcia Cadet carbide bike lamp....
