Just FYI, Stewart is a great guy to deal with

Neg 4 here this morn.

But everything nice and dry. Nearly impossible to get wet when it's like this, and the sun shines too. Pleasant as long as you keep moving

You can keep the wet and humid

Majicwrench

Before you get it running, add fuel and pump it up. Let it sit a while, and goto pumpit again and see if any fuel come out of pumpon the up stroke. THose are good looking little lanterns, I love mine, and have a lot of experience with leaky pumps and ways to fix them. ANy lantern or stove you need t...

Majicwrench

OK, it doesn't "join the font" down at the bottom where check valve is.

If you don't have caswells any thin epoxy would work. Do you have check valve out? See if it's 3/8th 24 thread, or whatever it is, just get a bolt that sze, should be a straightforward repair

Majicwrench

"Where tube joins font" The tube joins font up top, so it that right? Easily confused here......

The check valve is a standard thread, IIRC it's 3/8 24, (at least on a 242 I just had apart) so any bolt will thread in.

Majicwrench

I would pressurize font, remove pump and fill with water so you know exactly where it leaks. Then report back.

I would be tempted to apply whatever sealer down pump tube and apply vacuum to font, sucking product into crack/hole

Majicwrench

I don't always bother razor blading off the excess, but you surew can.

I've got a BUNCH of super glued globes, it's kinda nice giving them a new life

Majicwrench

Super glue is your friend! Save that globe

I've got a couple of those, good runners.

Majicwrench

Those blue skies look wonderful. We go months w/o any sunshine up here, when the sun does come out the whole town is outside smiling. If I did a 90 minute snowshoe in somewhere, would be about 20 minutes snowshoeing and 70 minutes resting :) Duane, I hear you about breakfast......and COFFEE. Once yo...

My wife is a "Park Ranger" I need to get her one!

Majicwrench

I wanna see more!

"Leaves , straw , debris (spiders , scorpions,ticks,fleas depending on local) and the best I've slept on sweet Timothy hay all insulate." One of the most comfy nights I ever spent in the woods was a backpacking trip w a bunch of church kids. When we got to camp, horse packers had been there, and the...

I sold a guy a Coleman Lamp that had AGM tubes (IIRC) and it always burned a bit rich, he put the proper (longer) tubes on it and it worked great. FYI

Majicwrench

Found year 4, 9, 10.

Let me know if you need any/all

Majicwrench

I'll look in the drawer where I used to keep em and see if any in there.

Every now and then I go into purge mode and start throwing out anythng that isn't nailed down.

Then I regret it.

Majicwrench

I hate to admit it, but I've thrown out a bunch of these.

Majicwrench

I was out day hiking a couple days ago in the snow a couple miles above the house, and eyeballed a little ledge I use to o/n on when I was a bit younger. Maybe again.

Good on ya Duane. Repo gets cold?

Majicwrench

Dave, I have a bunch of em. PM me.

Majicwrench

You absolutely need one, or two, or each. Model 1, Model 2, Gypsy, a 2E, 9E, 418, 417, the list goes on....

Majicwrench

Forgive me, I misunderstood :) 413 is indeed a better all around stove for use, will take bigger pots and griddles. One of your tanks is probably for a 413. Nice thing about needing a tank for a 425, they are almost all the same. If you put a WTB in the classifieds I am sure somebody will have one. ...

Majicwrench

Never get rid of anything.

$10 for a stove stand and some tanks is super.

So do you need a tanks for your 425?

Majicwrench

Good stuff there

Majicwrench

It's listed next to his Avatar

Majicwrench

James, me bad, thanks for that, I assumed a silicone permatex

Majicwrench

Oh good a charcoal grill so we will have something to cook on!

Majicwrench

Blue Permatex is not fuel resistant and shouldn't be used in any sort of fuel application.

I had one candle flame yeears ago, I don't recall what I used........probably locktite of some sort.

Majicwrench

They are so cute.

Think I have two and a clone

Majicwrench

Always wanted a reflector oven. Let's see it at work!

Majicwrench

Oooh what kinda candle lanterns??
Something else I'm a sucker for.

Majicwrench

I've got a sheet of it, I use it under my stoves in cool weather.

If somebody wants a hunk i have plenty to spare.

Majicwrench

The fuel PU on those 118's is often plugged.

Bet you can straighten that......

Good haul, my kinda stuff

Majicwrench

Vise Grips work fine. Clamp hook in vise grip, then if you have bench vice clamp VG in bench vice.

Majicwrench

That long stuff looks synthetic, not hair. The brown feather stalks sticking out all around is a hackle wound on hook. The black is probably chenile, then a rib of tinsel.

Majicwrench

We call that little pilot a candle light. It is caused by the tip of generator a bit loose. Tight it up (be nice here) and or remove it and clean thread, reinstall. Usually just a bit of snug fixed it. IT should not candle

Folks are welcome to ask whatever they want, it's a free market. They can't make a living giving things away.

Majicwrench

bngreenchev (names are nice, what's yours?) You in the Tri Cities?? I'll be there several times this summer.

Majicwrench

THANK YOU for asking before you damage something. Those rack and pinion tip cleaners are fragile. Does it NEED to come apart? The generator just screws into the valve, grab it gently with some leather and pliers and unscrew. Heat base of genny with torch will help if it's stuck. Does generator have ...

Majicwrench

Pictures came thru fine. Neat old lantern.
I'll let the lantern expects say more.

Majicwrench

I could see that....not too far from Libby and kinda on the way to my MIL's.
Was just looking at a 418B wondering what to do with it............shipping would be insane.

Majicwrench

I was hoping you had snagged it so I could relax

Majicwrench

PM sent re Boots

Majicwrench

Methinks my Baby has a pip just like anything else. Mine has a different grate than yours. Is one of my most used stoves.

I'm liking those little stoves with the finger ring.

Majicwrench

They do say to open one full turn to light, then all the way when hot

Majicwrench

I am jsut guessing, but when I saw them I thouight "chain saw"

Majicwrench

Debris may clog screen, but it is always (at least with me) the little hole, really small, under screen that gets plugged. Like in Pancho's Poached Picture, there is only one tube. Sure, try to blow through it and see if you can clear it if you want, might work. Has anybody ever spun one of these bu...

Majicwrench

The picture Poncho poached shows it pretty well. The fuel feed tube is, well, inverted, goes into bottom of font, and sticks up. Thus the fuel feed is at bottom, covered by a little screen, and air is at other end.

Majicwrench

What Zoomkat pictured above is not what the Inverted set-up looks like at all. Pull it apart, clear hole

Majicwrench

Those you really need to pull em apart and clear that little hole manually, personally I wouldn't waste my time trying carb cleaner or backflushing or whatever. I've only had a couple apart (both to clear the little hole) and both came apart with no drama at all. Don't recall if I heated them or not...

Majicwrench

Coleman54 must have one, posted this picture in the KK#3 post in Just Bull

Majicwrench

Nice.
Did you paint the burners or season them?

I'm such a stovie. Lanterns are nice, but stoves............
