Recently I stumbled upon a Primus 347 marine stove that had been disassembled and was for sale. The frame had been painted and the flame spreaders were missing, but the price was right and I was ready for the challenge. After several hours of removing the paint, I was able to restore the frame to the original galvanized steel. I then cleaned out lots of residue from the tank, replaced the pump leather and the NRV valve, and cleaned up the burner heads. The cleaning needles on both burners were in sorry shape. The replacement needles needed some customizing to fit, but I was able to shorten them successfully. I also replaced the jet nozzles. I had to get creative on the flame spreaders by adapting some kerosene models with additional holes drilled, and a piece of copper tubing inserted into the inner caps. Finally after some trial and error, the stove produced flame. I have a bit of adjustment remaining on the burn pattern, but I'm glad to get this stove looking proper and useable.
