Same here. Need to learn before I keel over.

Nice Ulf. Same thoughts here, unusual colors, really cool.

I've said before on here, but in case you didn't hear, TOBY, YOU SUCK!

If it was sitting for awhile with old fuel before you got it, it may have varnished and is sticking the rod. You could try swishing some acetone around in the tank to see if that might loosen it before tearing it down. I would go ahead and break it down anyway. Totally cleaned is a better, more perm...

LOL...PM sent.

Awesome.

Hey Tom, I've ran into that problem a couple of times. What I did was chuck the pump stem into my drill and used a fingernail file (emery board) to sand the point until the groove was eliminated. Then used Brasso to polish it smooth again. Worked very well. Edit: you have to be careful to keep the s...

Nice work Ulf. Reminds me of a guy I worked with years ago. His son was getting married, so we asked him about his future daughter-in-law. He replied: "She's not much to look at, but she's a helluva worker".

Lines

Awesome picture. That place looks really cool.

The struggle is real. But I think you're up for the challenge, challenge.

Yes, it is strangely addicting. Good to have you here!

UhOh, I spotted something on that tray in the above picture that will send you deep into another rabbit hole. Lead head jigs! You're headed for trouble....lol :) You don't do plastic baits and fly tying too, do you? Would be guilty of all the above. Plastic baits jigs tie flies. 👍 Same here. Gave u...

Welcome from Alabama Jason. Like you,I just got back into lanterns and stoves again recently.
This is a great place to learn.
OCP is the best. There's a syndicate you can join with the lantern you have posted there.
Have fun!

You suck Toby!

Does Jim Beam make your 639C burn brighter and cleaner? I'll bet it creates a warm glow.

All very nice Mark. I like the tint that the green puts out. I also love the Perfection heater.

Lines

Cool lantern. That little heater is pretty awesome too.

Lines

Beautiful Moses.

My dad owned one exactly like the green one. Very cool.

Lines

Old outboards could still run on some of that old fuel, but the new ones? Not so much.

That looks beautiful. I agree with all above saying "B". Compare the stamp to the "R" in the word TRADEMARK and you can see the difference.

That's how I have to post pictures too hunt!

I've painted several founts with Rustoleum Professional Hunter Green with great satisfaction. I would like to clear coat them to make them more chemical resistant. I guess I'll try Rustoleum clear engine enamel next time. I have a birthday fount to paint, so I'll try it out there. If it doesn't work...

Lines

Like Dan, I tried VHT clear engine enamel over Rustoleum black on a Perfection heater font. It didn't actual blister it, but made the black sag. Not compatible. I'm going to try Rustoleum Clear next time.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!

Somebody on here once said: One man's patina, is another man's rust and dirt. Strictly a matter of perspective and preference.

https://postlmg.cc/G46J9sb9 If your frame is pitted bad enough to where you can't get a decent look by cleaning, use Huntaholics advice. I tried it and was very pleased.

Use WD40 to clean the collar. It normally won't remove the printing.
Edit: as with any cleaner though, use in an inconspicuous area first.

I saw that yesterday. WOW!

This is what I've used for my last five jobs. I think the color is pretty close. It goes on really smooth and even. Three to four coats provides a good finish. I let them cure for a couple weeks before using. I am careful when filling with fuel because I am not sure how fuel resistant this paint is....

Lines

I've tried different lengths in a 220F, and I can't tell any difference.

Lines

Hey David. Just my opinion only. I would strip the fount and repaint. As long as it functions well, why not revive it. Stripping a fount and repainting is actually a lot easier than it sounds. Is it a green fount? I have had much faster results stripping green paint than red. Must be the difference ...

Lines

Sorry Mark. Your shot string is pretty uniform though.

Lines

Briley Extra Full should tighten up a bit, Get the ported, makes it louder for the guy sitting next to you.

Lines

Yes it did. I filled the fount half full of Crown fuel and added some stainless steel nuts, and shook it really well of and on all day. Then dumped all the fuel, and rinsed with another half fount of clean fuel. That cleaned it up really well. Getting the last few nuts out was kind of a pain, but I ...

Hey Bob, my best lantern is a 228F 12/66 also. A little cleaning should have it going strong. See you have the new OCP patch!
Cool.

Interesting. Good post Chuck. Strike anywhere and strike on box are also different.

Hello Bob. Welcome from Alabama! What year is your "basket case" 228? Very good lantern to start with. Very rewarding when you finish one.
