Drill and tap, parts lots came with molded knobs that attached with a screw. No glue will hold up to the heat if you run it..

Otto

Same gen as 201, Coleman had a little can with a s shaped tube for filling the cup with alcohol, through the larger hole in the base plate. Now, there is a plastic bottle for that purpose. Amish shops sell them, or on line.

Otto

The big single mantle. Happykamper says a big thermos will work with a washer. Check kyles posts on kamplite from way back. I will look at Clayton's when I get home tonight.

Otto

Phil(mcdugal2) lives over by Springfield. If any one can get the CV out he can. Try pm ing him.

Otto

Do you have the threade pretty much bottomed in the burner and valve assembiy? Many times the air tube threads or. The bhrner tube threads are rusted and don't want to seat. See my tutorial on using two plyers and leather to protect tubes.(in my profile threads started) Also, put the bottom extensio...

Otto

I have used either viton o rings or a/c o rings for the pump and the fill cap seals. Just take it in to a auto parts store that sells loose out of a parts box. Cut a piece for the pip.

Otto

After the hot evaporust (which smells like molasses) the bottom looks pretty clean. Now a wash with alcohol and dry with the fish tank bubbler.

Otto

So, the lye opened up the riser tube! A lot of organic stuff came out, no rust particicles. Tomorrow will come hot evaporrust soak.

Otto

What's the process for lye?

Otto

I thought I could put the Model R together tonight, but the fount inside is terrible. It has been several years sitting on the shelf waiting for the other repairs. I must have forgotten to do it. The fill cap is crusty, but the US cleaner awaits. The fount bottom is steel with bubbly rust inside. No...

Otto

You have to go with when they made the series. So,46 would fit. My 49 has 49.
I have the same issue with a 242B with 6 and 9. In that case Terry goes by the nuances of the stamping of the burner and such things.

Otto

NL is no letter

Otto

Can anyone give dates of these pumps?
The nice nickel one in the middle has a nickel plated shaft too.

Otto

This is the first QL (lamp). I would like #16 if possible. Thanks for Identifing it for me Larry!

Otto

I use the dished for funnel, works fine.

Otto

Guillotine, I saw the thread you mentioned. 1970-1976.

Otto

Is there a date on these somewhere?

Otto

There is a little valve on the bottom of the pump(NRV) that may be leaking. I have also replaced the bigger pump seal on the pump itself with a viton O ring from the auto parts store on these. Search the site here for NRV for more info.
When you get it going, these are good runners.

Otto

Stick with the older nickle versions.

Otto

Clayton has lots of AGM parts. I will ask him.
Can you buy a crusty lantern and get parts that way?

Otto

Terry has a spreadsheet going on these and would appreciate your info.

Otto

12/50

Otto

Thanks everyone, I can't buy everything, and many times I hurry back after I find out what it is.

Otto

No, it is very stiff.

Otto

I found these in a hardware store Coleman parts cache. Made of brass, the needle is 12 thou. No markings.

Otto

When cleaning the check valve some times I get away without removing them. Just spray carb cleaner in them. The cheep spray companies now only give you a very short straw, so with a heat gun (after several trys) I molded two together.

Otto

There's three styles of shade listed for this number.

Otto

This is my fount holder, its ok to use the house oven, if the girls are not home.

Otto

Coleman used that fount too. It depends what the disk has on it. look under the disk for a little piece of paper wit a #. Some say its a QC check, some say its serial #. Burner is later QL with the bakelite knob. Originally, the fount had an earlier burner on it. The generator is AGM. It ...

Otto

Don't forget everyone, baking at 180° (450° for hi-temp paint) for 20 min, may change the result. usually a little darker. The oven will toughen up the paint too, but not as good as powder coating. Also, with some lanterns, the vent may not be the exact match of the fount. The vent can change ...

Otto

We do quite a bit of painting here. This is the avocado sears color: <a href="http://www.colemancollectorsforum.com/post/handy-dandy-fount-holder-for-the-oven-8006678" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.colemancollectorsforum.com/post/handy-dandy-fount-holder-for-the-oven-8006678</a><br ...

Excellent! When you go to clean the slots in the burner, the correct tool is a Coleman iron slot cleaner. Another item I use, is a car windshield wiper retainer. It is stainless and holds the blade in the arm, one on each side. Do not put too much side ways action as you clean the slots. They are ca...

Otto

Transferring fuel is never easier. If you have several lanterns and store them dry removing ALL fuel is essential. The procedure is to put the GPA on a 45° angle and using the curve of the hose find the corner of the fount. A quick pump will get the ball rolling. I usually MT into a glass jar ...

Otto

That Bung is originally soldered at the factory. Someone couldn't get the cap off and heated it. That doesn't get the cap off it just makes the bung spin in the tank. So they soldered it up with gobs to make it seal. In order to solder it with out the gobs it has to be very clean. Please check the b...

I live 50 mi from rapids too, Great stoves!

You can use the straw from an empty soap or lotion pump bottle to bridge the two.

Otto

Cool, Thanks, I'll be harvesting one next trip to the yards. You noticed the fuel injection cap on my schrader, I harvest the valves from fuel injection , so they are fuel safe.

Otto

This mod is a repost of several years back. The original post disappeared. I had a HGP missing the air stem, and found out the threads are the same as a Q99 jam nut. So, get a Schrader valve with threads(I think they are 1/8 pipe), a Q99 or comparable jam nut. Drill and tap the jam nut fo...

Otto

Here are some caps. Anyone have models/dates?

The two on the right are sightly different.

Otto

As I recall, The 413 stove Gen tip can be used on HGPs to run Kero. So, I think the Kero tips need to be larger then white gas ones. Use fine sand paper to make sure there is no burr on the wire tip. OCP has the HGP orifices for $4.

Otto

Take a HGP burner and put it in a 413 stove. You can certainly lift the barrel 6". There will be 100% improvement in the electrolytic action with heated solution.

Otto

Hippie, just put the tank on you HGP. You'll have the crock out in a jiffy!

Otto

They should be clocked straight and tight. I have heard mufflor mender is used in some situations. CQ parts are common, so you could switch them out.

Otto

Steve, can,t believe you missed the diagnosis. Please study this chart by Neil (macburner).

Otto

Yes, two screens. Placed in a criss cross pattern. They have a little bit bigger size then the threads so the usually stick in the cap. Some times they are falling apart and brittle, so I have had them made from Stainless mesh.

Otto

My son posted this thread several years ago.

This is A repost from several years back. Things are regularly lost on this web site.

Okay, restrictor, like nascar.

When working on the Wisconsin built appliances, this is the clearest diagram to be had.

I have been going through years of old files and ran across this. It was found in a service centers manual.
