Optimus Nova + regulator will not turn

Hello

Last weekend I was gifted an unused Nova + stove. My first one with seperate tank and fuel hose. My friend bought this one many years ago and it has not ever been used. When checking it tonight I found that the green control knob will not turn.I have dismanteled the hose and the spindle and all looks good. Even the two blue o-rings are fine.Any advice dear gentlemen ? A new fuel hose maybe ? Are they available ?

Your stove is fine, the green knob is a handle. You regulate the burner by turning the complete fuel hose assembly with your fingers on the knob. Congratulations to your shove!

Great @boknasild , hope you have a nice weekend!

 

Hello @boknasild

I had not seen this. I have a stove just like yours, you already received the correct help, in fact it should turn the entire line, it is good that you did not force it. Enjoy your new Nova + you show us when it is in use.

 

Thanks guys

Will post flame shots asap. Did not have time to do this last weekend. I'm busy installing a new kitchen in my house.

If you cook your meals on your Nova+ you can take it easy with the kitchen installation @boknasild ...

 

You are correct Staffan. I have used ny Primus 516 for cooking. Hopefully my Danish kitchen will be installed middle of next week.
Have a nice weekend

Kitchen is finished and looks great. But I'm ashamed to admit that the bathroom in 2nd floor is being visited by a plumber today. When will this stop ? Anyhow here is my new Nova + running on kerosene.
Found some advise @Kjetil S here re lifting up the burner plate. Then kerosene works quite well.

Really nice!
