The best information regarding Coleman stoves, lanterns and other gas pressured appliances!

I put a crescent wrench (8" or longer) on the assembly, turn the whole thing upside down and put the wrench handle in my workmate jaws and then twist the fount to remove the cleaner assembly....you can leave the tip cleaner stem attached to the assembly if you wish

Pliers Al....have done many of these

Nicer shot than the closeups!

My thoughts exactly....thanks for your help and advice

Thanks LJ...No idea if the fount has bulged but It works great and burns bright as it is so maybe I'm just better leaving it alone....I can live with the non centered wheel

This is where it's at.....kinda afraid to turn it as it doesn't look like much room to move to me but what do I know?<img alt="😟" src="https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/v/13.0.1/72x72/1f61f.png" class="emoji bbc_img" data-emoji="emoji" /> <a href="/files/attachments/5544007-20201017_1...

Thanks Dan, Chuck.....that is really helpful

Thanks for the encouragement Steve....it's a learning process. When doing my 236A, I could screw the fount on where it needed to go all by hand. My 220E, on the other hand, needed my workmate(vise)....all different I guess

Thanks LJ....Don't need it dead centre, just a bit lower....I'll play with it a bit and if it doesn't feel right, I'll leave it

Because I'm fairly new to all this I've only removed a couple of founts......one was a 220E and it took all my strength to remove it so I get a bit nervous when doing this but you're right....it'll bug me if I don't try to even it out....and I won't blame you if I screw it up lol

Yeah thanks Steve....tip cleaner is the same as in the pic above.....right about the packing nut, hadn't thought of that. Got it like this so don't know if the po had taken it apart......Guess I'll give it a turn

I was hoping you guys would make it easy for me.....lol....one side of me wants the look to be correct and the other side is worried about screwing it up

So I picked up this 249 recently and am wondering if the valve assembly should be turned another full turn on the fount to lower it....shouldn't it be centered height wise? Or should I just leave it alone as it works just fine as is <a href="/files/attachments/5540388-20201015_182121resize.jpg" rel=...

Such great info! As a newcomer to the world of Coleman, this is invaluable..thanks for putting this together......

that's my Unimet GL-1....posted to wrong thread

oops....wrong thread

Forgot about this little problem as well.....

I was wondering about that one too

[QUOTE username=Leviticus Tomethreus userid=7320473 postid=1314593149]Haha yuss. Although I would probably be concerned that I get more Concorde this about that than yesterday’s math test.<img alt="😬" src="https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/v/13.0.1/72x72/1f62c.png" class="emoji bbc_img...

That's as good an explanation for that paint job as any I think

Thanks guys....he wanted $10.....I passed on it

Someone likes white so sprayed the thing top to bottom!.....Thinking Unimet maybe?

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.....picked up an 8/49 242B earlier today....very excited to see how it turns out after a little clean up

Thanks Mark....never thought of using it to reduce brightness.....

New member here from the Great White North......saw a mesh globe in Cdn Tire earlier today. Is it simply a cheap replacement for a glass globe or does it serve some other purpose? (Thanks to you guys I have a new addiction)<img alt="😁" data-emoji="e...
