Hey John To get the jet out of your stove you have to have a special tool. It is a double swivel You can get this along with leathers and just about every thing you will want from Base Camp our sponcer. Click on the banner at the top i also sell a lot of parts but postage can be expencive. You should remove the jet before trying to clean the burner. It is likely it is only the jet that is blocked.
hey albert thanks pal for the info im just gonna look at the sponser site write now,albert will a double swivel tool take any jet out of my stoves kind regards john

Excellent. Tancred usually has the odd stuff posted on Ebay. Took me a while to get one of these too! Rob
John The swivel tool was made for the roarer burner. It will also fit the silent burner. But not the adjustable burner, for this you will find the tool for removeing the Non Return Valve will do the job. The jet for a Lanray (Australian made stove) is slightly larger than the other brands so this is a problem. Good luck on your bidding If not this one may be the next one but hang in there you will get one, one day.

Hey Rik, you'll have to lay off the red meat, if your niples are tight and made of brass - - don't go near them with pliers.
Just for a moment I thought you had written 'removable' .... Silly me Enjoy the Flame Spudz p.s. Rik, any news on the height of a Trangia windshield then ???
