Greetings all from Australia,

Let me formostly say congrats with a great site, I have only just started in the world of collecting some military stoves, so stumbling across this site is a god send.

I have a few questions

I recently purchased an Enders 9061. I used lead replacement petrol in it and it burned ok but was patchy ..... I dont know weather it was getting to much air etc. It was very hard to get the flame at a constant. (Blue Flame) It seemed to want to go between the blue like a bunsen burner and back and forward to a yellow flame.

Does anyone have any Idea what is happening here?

I noticed on ebay Germany that there are a number of what seem to be new ENDERS stoves and lamps. Is the German Enders Company or Factory still going? And if so can one still get spare parts for these? If not .....Dadadada.... Can anyone assist me with some spares?

Any helpwould be greatful and appreciated.

Thanks,

Darren

Darren,
Well glad you found the site.

Seems as though the Enders stoves are making the rounds. Myself and a few others picked up some of the surplus 9061's awhile back. If you do a search under Enders 9060 (we used the wrong model in the beging of the thread) you can find our old thread. As far as Enders making the stove another collector stated that Enders made the 9061 as a special order since they had stopped production of stoves of that type. The military contract was a long time ago so anything new cannot be found. So as far as spares go you will need to scrounge them up as you go. You can use nitril o-rings for some of the seals. Another area is a fellow who also resides in Austraila. He posts quite frequently to this board. (Handi Albert.) He makes leather pump cups to order and may have other spares available. I have some nitrile rubber in sheet form so if you need to cut out some seals I can help you out with that.

When a flame burns blue then yellow it generally means that you are getting to much fuel or air. You may need to strip the tank and check the wick. You can do this easily by removing the pump and rod assembly and shinning a flashlight inside the tank. The wick should look like a large white mass comming out of the fuel line. If it is disconnected or partialy hanging you may need to replace it. I am currently waiting on a wick to arrive to replace the one in one of my 9061's.

Another trick is to add carburator cleaner and maybe some gasline antifreeze to the fuel. This will help to remove any desposits in the wick. But be prepared to remove the jet on the burner as the desposits will burn off and collect in and around the jet as a black tar like substance.

I am sure others will reply to your post over the next few days so check back often for more ideas.
