Optimus 111 T

I found a nice Optimus 111 T. It is a new thing for me. I only changed the NRV and it appears to me that it works fine.
My concern is to see that the multitool key is not in the axis of the valve as you can see on the photo. I found another rod with a leather cup instead of the rod with a O-ring.

@kerophile Thank you for the link. This problem seems not rare ! I’m afraid to try to bend the brass tube… May be the other kind of key could be the solution.

Adjust it.

@hikerduane I am afraid to break the brasse tube…

 

You are loosening up the nut that connects the tube to the tank, then with a few tries rotating the burner to check position, retighten that nut.

It is better to have the leather cup, the O"ring in cool weather is not efficient . Can we see it?
