Due to obstruction I tried to disarm the Nova + system. it was so strong that I couldn't unscrew it. Then by shaking the self-cleaning system, shaking it from one side to the other and with air pressure using the same pump and bottle system, I managed to make it work since with the magnetized tool I did not achieve a good result. what worries me is that trying to unscrew it will damage a little as seen in the photo. I wonder what I should do to be able to loosen that part and properly clean the system. It occurs to me to do it with pressure and nitrogen without disassembling. If I heat the system with fire, would it be an option to loosen the thread? What do you advise me? Is the thread normal or reverse?
Hej @Jose, 'Heat and quench' with a torch and water or cooling spray and boiling water. Take a screw driver or the original tool which should fit exactly into the slit. It is a normal thread. Ciao, Bastian
Hi @Jose i have a Nova stove incorporated into a Nomad stove. In the past I have had problems with blockages in the fuel feed, even when using good quality, clean fuel: I had to check and clean the whole fuel feed system, not just the jet and magnetic cleaning needle: From this thread: Nomad Nova Multi Fuel Stove Best Regards, Kerophile.
@Sternenlicht, @kerophile Excellent!!! thank you very much for your effective response. that will be the procedure to follow. I hope to do it tomorrow.
Be cautious about heat and quench. Stove parts might crack. I have had that happen with a lantern preston loop.
For breaking the bond you don't need high temperatures, but a sudden fall of temperature. In case of boiling water and cooling spray you have differences of nit more than 130K maybe. By doing it with a torch you don't need to bring it to glowing red, rising the temperature a but should be enough in that case. Ciao, Bastian
