What is the date.
I still have the 335 fount here in the box.
I might have a 200 if you need it.

Flash

I have had this happen to my 237. What you maybe experiencing is when you shut it off, the valve is leaking a little and filling the generator. Try this, when you shut it off next time, bleed of any air pressure from the fount. Then try and light it. That way the gen will be hot but have n...

+1 on Nevada Ed. That is the most likely cause.

Flash

When the lantern is running as good as possible, Try flipping it upside down breifly.
If the light gets brighter you still have some Fuel Air/Tube troubles.

Flash

This is a good list...But please state that this applies to mostly lanterns made in the USA Canada globes are similar, but there are differnt ones. I know there is 3 or 4 different globes that came on the 335's Also there is a Red and Green Sunrise globes used in Canada. I can figure thi...

@ThosKiwi, It says use #21 mantles on the collar of a 200 and 200A?

Flash

#99 works better then a #21
But #21's work fine.

Flash

+2 on Cigar mike and Jan.
Looks like a Transitional C to D model.
I would treat it as a "d" as the "c" model had a different pump.
Great lantern...good price too

Flash

Hey nice lantern...That's not a 321A That's a 321B. a 321A would be identical but would be painted Blue. Good lantern....Very common here in Canada. But good runner. Nice find. The valve assm is not the same as a 288. The 321B and it's big brother the 621B use unique v...

Ok, I can't seem to find the list 4M stove seem to have been made between 1959 and 1967. This is going by literature, and my memory currently as I can't find the list. This is a small suitcase stove and the time line for it goes something like this. 6J (1940) 6H 4...

The 290 fount will not work. You will need a 220D 220E or 220F fount. E's and F's being the easiest to find. The 290 fount may have the hole in the wrong spot. and I also think the hole is bigger. Finding a nickle 220D fount is not that hard. Finding a 220E or 220F fount i...

Flash

Ok, Lots of info here.
The Tip cleaner at the tip of the generator controls the amount of flow, not the valve.
The more you unscrew, the more flow you get.

honestly sounds like a generator tip. (too much fuel)

Flash

I'm sure Fred Kuntz could hook you up.
I must say I have tried and failed at repairing old globes.
He also sells new Mica globes that look great I must add.

Flash

Funny I was just talking to Roland about a 427 I'm working on... IT had to be the worst vent I have ever seen...Even rummaged throught the parts box looking for a better USA vent. It took 8 30 min soaks and cleaning in citric acid to get the vent clean. It turned out pretty good I mus...

Flash

+1 on the bad generator...

Flash

#20 mantles work well on a Lamp or a 327/427
#21 work too.

Never heard of a #41 Coleman mantle.

Flash

What model are you working on?

Flash

I've dropped them in water and they have been fine.
There a lantern. So they are designed to be used in any weather.
I have a 200A that is out in the rain going all the time. It's seen some pretty bad weather in it's life.

Flash

I have seen a 222B labled made in Toronto Canada,
but the fount was made in the USA. I think the factory stopped making everything in 1993/94

Flash

Or you can just do this neat little trick I saw. 1. Pump up the stove 2. Place the tank by itself not attached to the stove on a level surface. 3. Place a can of fuel over the end of the generator to "Catch the fuel" 4. Open the fuel valve. 5. Wait 4 or 5 minutes. ...

Flash

You are pretty accurate, I have found that as well.
Now I just wonder if they made a 11.77 275

Flash

pre heat with a torch then open that valve all the way.

Flash

I think you have a spider web in the air tube.
It's the large tube holding the top on.
I see it's a 228 Model J or H

Thread a Long plastic Zip tie up throught the tip cleaner hole and into the air tube.
Bet you're gonna find some crap.

Flash

Bump for permanent keeping.

Flash

The metal wire from a twist tie will work..or so I've heard.

+2

Flash

Sounds like you have a 220E transition lantern, It was the lantern made for a year or so between the
220E and the 220F. Cool find and defiantly a good lantern. I just got the 228E from a member here on the forum.

Flash

With the gen removed does fuel come out of the no working valve?

Flash

Can a MOD Please move this to the Technical Assistance Archive.
Thanks, Flash

Flash

Look how Roland does it.

Flash

Dude that is awesome....now my question is what are you doing with all the crap fuel.
hint...hint...hint....

Flash

I agree, this topic come up from time to time.
You seem to have already figured it all out.
I like them, I have a Hipolito, and working on a Aida.
Both are Identical to britlight's lantern.

Honestly there lantern looks good, I would like to try one out.

Flash

+1 228B, I like it.

Flash

Looks like that, Don't think there is anyway to take it apart.

Flash

Around 20-28 psi.
Hope that helps...Oh yeah you can get the pressure up to like 35 if you try really hard.

Flash

No, I't's not the same as a bernz, it rotates about 1/2 way around.
Mine leaks so bad liquid propane shoots out the gen tip.

Flash

I can't for the life of me figure out how to take the valve apart.
Look like it's not serviceable.

Flash

Hey guys got a propane nothrstar today in my travels. Looked forward to trying it out. I started to screw the lantern on to the propane tank and it's stuck on and full intensity. It's leaking alot of gas. I removed the valve and I can't see anyway of servicing them. A...

Flash

Funny this came up at the cabin in Sept. Roland has a nice 220E metalic. He had complained about the
smell from it for some time. Scullins got him another generator and it solved the problem.
I was amazed.

Flash

I 100% agree with Sandrion,
The design is a good one.

Flash

3 table spoons for 5 gallons?
Holy crap, explains why mine takes 4 minutes.
I been using 6-9 table spoons per gallon.
whoops...

Flash

both my bernz do the same thing...My stove is a mess.
replacement valve is the easiest thing..

Flash

@Jan, this is the style of 520 we are talking about.

Flash

Flash

No, ehoges has teh same stove I do, 1944 is my guess.
Mine has the 2 piece case. And yes it does stick in there some times.
Put a piece of wax paper around it, also make sure that the case is not dinged in.
that's the trouble with mine.

Flash

I think my 444, clone of a 413D has one.

Flash

Yes, I had this happen.
can the stove move at all?

Flash

Make sure you are not over pumping it. for a test, use a a 200A gen tip on it. See if that helps at all. Also Check that the f/a rod is not stuck, While running give the lantern a quick flip upside-down. If it get brighter the f/a tube is stuck. My Milspec never runs right ...

Flash

if its not broken , i wouldnt fix it

+1 good advice....some of us need to use that line more.
