Geeves that method has always worked for me. Even better with a little low pressure compressed air at the same time. Watch out for flying sparks though. Depending on how mucked up it is, it can be a real light show/house burner downer. Even without the air, the amount of smoke is amazing and nasty. Did it recently on one that was so caked full, NO air would pass until I heated it for a few minutes. Finally a small jet of smoke and gradually it sparked and sputtered and flamed until nothing was coming out. A little shot of carb cleaner to rinse out the ash and they run like new. Mike
Hey Mike! Thanks for the information. This is what I was seeking when I first posted the question. Can you post references to the source? Yonadav
I spent a few fascinating(to me anyway) hours sifting through Google Patent searches. Search for: Boyd Tullis. He was an absolute genius with Coleman. W.C. Coleman The founder. Carl Bramming From Aladdin Lots of great information on the design, operation, and thought process of the inventors. You will see many familiar model and some that were probably never produced. Mike
Hi @yonadav ! I dig out this topic because its very important for me.I'm glad to hear about your experience with unleaded fuel. Best regards
I have 3 Enders 9061 military stoves. One of them, I'm sure shared the same fuel as the vehicle it was mounted on. When I received it years ago it had nasty gas in it and the wick is brown. The other two have a white wick. The funny thing is the one with the nasty looking wick burns the best. It has the nicest dark blue flame. Go figure.
