Will the kampkook LCS-21 take the same pump to tank gasket as the M-1950 and M-1942? I haven't tested it under water but the gasket is hard as a rock.
Nitrile O-rings work perfectly in this stove, of which I have a couple... http://www.harborfreight.com/225-piece-metric-nitrile-o-ring-assortment-67609.html sam
Thank you Idaho !!, I have a Harbor Freight nearby. (well, within 50 miles) What will I do with the remaining 224 o-rings??
Fix a lot more stove?????? C'mon man, you can never have too many o-rings. You can probably go to an auto supply store and pay about 1/4 the price of that kit for one o-ring. Mike
You'd never guess where these O rings come in handy.: The smallest size work to replace the former on the Coleman 550B fold out plastic support legs. If the rivet is removed, (it must be disgarded) but one each small O ring is placed on either side of the plastic leg in between the mounting bracket and the support leg. A new split cotter pin is used. :o For the pump on Enders stoves, the next larger size replaces the small O ring mounted aft of the pump cup. This is what seals and creates pressure on the downstroke. 8-[
Okay , need more help. I went last night and got the o-ring kit,by the way thanks for all the helpful advice on using the extras. Seems the pick-up tube must be obstructed as I can't get a steady flow of fuel. I've gotten it lit twice but soon the fuel flow stops again. The generator doesn't seem obstucted at all. There is a screen on the pick-up tube and no apparent way of removing the tube to allow me to spray carb. cleaner through it. What do I need to do guys??
empty the tank remove the conection to the pickup spray carb cleaner in that way then blow down the pickup tube.
The pickup tube should just unscrew, but be careful with it. You can try removing the generator and needle and spraying the carb cleaner through the generator port with the valve wide open while sealing around the spray stem with a rag or tape. You can also try throttling the air valve a bit to allow more fuel and less air when lighting. Should be fixed once all the passages are clear. A vinegar soak wouldn't hurt either. Mike
Thanks again , I tried to unscrew the PU tube with no luck and the generator was seized in the valve body and would have taken more force than I wanted to apply so I just sprayed carb cleaner in where the fuel control knob was removed and blew back through the generator. I finally removed the screen on the PU tube, though I didn't want to, and found what the problem was ; a build-up of what I would call "rust dust" over the end of the tube. I suppose if I hadn't removed the screen the dust would've just clogged it again. The screen went back on well enough and she fired right up beautifully. I've read people brqagging on how well these stoves burn. I see why now, this thing gives you control like a kitchen range. I like it !!!
Sounds like you did good! Any chances of seeing your work in a few photos with flames turned on? Glad you got the old girl running again. sam
My only digital phone is almost antique but will get it working so I can post some pics. I also need to show off my M-1942 that's burning now and an M-1950 Which I built from parts for a buddy. I'll get the camera on charge but probably won't get any pics up until after Christmas. (the family expects me to participate)The only project I have left now is a 1966 200A, unless I start repainting. I've got to get out and find some more or it's going to be a long winter. Thanks for the guidance and interest with my humble projects. Merry Christmas Everyone !! Mike
