Yes I suppose it's easy enough to try to clean up the joint without disassembling and attempt to re-solder it. I have a small gas torch with a...
Hmm, I suppose I'd better use lead solder then, I must say that I love Silver Solder, -always flows into a joint better, for me anyway. Should I...
Good tip Lennart thanks.
I've found whilst trying to get my Primus No5 going (can't find the ID number yet) that The filler neck has a leak where it joins the tank. So...
Now THAT'S a flame!
Tony thanks for the tip about starting my Coleman 500 using a Tilley Meths starter. Works a treat, because I think the stove virtually starts...

Well she's lit, and boiled her first billy! Good! But I don't think it's optimised yet. I need to get a 'handle' on what the controls do....
Yes, Bernie sent me one that seems to work. Same thread, although Im not game to screw it on too much, it wants to tighten a bit 'early' -it would...
Ah, well the needle screws in - much better!
A & C is what I had - note broken gland nut A. So I've bought B new. It looks like I need to remove needle C and fit it into B, and then fit B...
Oh thanks mate. Interesting size this thread eh? There's plenty at 3/8 26tpi, but the only one I can find at 27tpi is an 'American Standard Pipe'...
