Oh I see. Are there any significant changes that were made to the other good clones?
Were they made in different places? I've seen some stamped made in Canada.
I checked and double checked. No cross threading. Being American, the Col-Max piques my interest, but they're very hard to find. I've seen some...
Just as the title states. Im looking for a list of the high quality clones. Do all clones accept modern petromax parts?
That's an interesting lantern. Does it have positive shut off? I saw one for sale on ebay.
I got the parts from imperial lighting here in the US. I got the whole upper and lower assembly along with the internals, jet and needle. They are...
I finally have it running properly. I left the original lower part of the carburetor on, and the new upper part with the Preston loops has very...
@MYN I removed the old patchwork and found nothing but one large dent and some small ones. Whatever he used to patch it with came off easily after...
Right now I'm not planning on increasing the gas percentage in the kerosene. I'm sure it would run even better on pure CF. I will dilute the CF...
At 25% CF it still has a slight halo of fire. But it is much improved over straight kerosene. The mantle brightens and dims every now and then. It...
@MYN Did you mention which mantle you're using? I didn't find the name in your post about it. @podbros It certainly does look like the rapid...
Good save, thank you Tony.
I'll keep a bucket of water ready. I'll try the Amish mix since I've already got kerosene on the fount.
I didn't know you could do that. I may try the gas tonight knowing I can do it safely.
@MYN, So if the NRV fails, there will be a rapid release of pressure through the pump tube? Britelyt does sell a viton seal for it. Of course that...
I was just thinking, Aren't those small coleman vaporizers considered consumable? The benefit of the large petromax vaporizer is that it isn't as...
It would be nice, but I think ive exhausted everything besides using gas.
@Dashwood The vaporizer / generator on those colemans have ribs on them. Maybe they help with heating? [ATTACH]
@MYN Thanks for the suggestions, but at this point I think I'm done messing with the B vaporizer. If I were to use it, I would try an Amish mix....
You've all benn a great help. Thanks for helping me figure this out. We have an educated hypothesis now about what's causing my lantern to flame...
