Where can I find a new gas generator for Coleman Exponent Dual Fuel Pulstar stove ? I think same as the Apollo and maybe even same generator as Gemini .
Now I'm going to have to dig out one of my Pulstar stoves and see if a 550 generator will actually fit. I do know that you can't order a Pulstar/Apollo generator from Coleman as they were discontinued years ago. @Richard Baumgartner what happened to your old generator? Do you have an instruction manual will the parts breakdown and part numbers? I do know the Pulstar shared the generator with another stove other than the Gemini but I can't remember which one at the moment. If the 550 solution does not work I can probably spare on of my extras as I stocked up on parts a few years back. Also the canister fuel adaptor from the Fyrestorm will also work on the Pulstar/Apollo/Gemini family of stoves. I'll post what I find out tomorrow.
The 550 generator below my Pulstar looks too short in both height and length to fit properly. My offer still stands if you can't find a spare on the internet.
@Richard Baumgartner The part you are looking for is R9760-501 Stove Maint Kit, I just checked Coleman's website and that part can't be found. The internet was not much better.
Thanks for the part number. I think I tried the same number after exhaustive research but no luck finding one. Yes the 550 is a no go unfortunately. Totally different than the Pulstar generator. Let me know if you can part with one. Thanks
It's a challenge locating one. It seems that the stove was produced for a very short time and therefore not popular enough to make that many spares for retail.
I was at the local Coleman Outlet store yesterday and they still had 4 on the shelf. As for usage I have bought more of them to convert broken Apex stove's by changing out the regulator, pump and hose, which also allow the use of a canister fuel adaptor all using factory parts. I also found the Pulstar way too easy to flood on Coleman fuel which is probably why I have not used it in years. I'll PM you and we can discuss a replacement generator being sent your way. Mike
I thought I had a possible solution in the shape of a Coleman 502 generator bent to shape using miniature pipe bender - but the 502 generator is most likely too short.
@presscall Always one to think outside the box, and I like where you were going. Luckily I just cleaned 3 502 generators so I had one handy to check and you were correct its roughly 18mm too short and the diameter is also thicker. 5 inches or 127mm in length would work and the hole in the stove might have to be made larger if a substitute could be found. Thanks Mike
If anyone is still having issues with Coleman Apollo generator replacements. One can easily take a Coleman Apex stove generator and bend it into shape. They are the same length and already have similar curves to them. Finding them on ebay is still very common. I have already done this modification and it works flawlessly. Or at least when running a isobutane canister. I have not yet tried white gas. Now if I could only fettle a Coleman Fyrestorm SS generator out of another?
