Hello! Today, my sister brought something from her attic... It seems to be a kero SVEA. But there is a lot of missing stuff and I do'nt know what kind of SVEA it is. Any idea ? The plots are solded on the body. There are arabic caracters and french words ("trois ?toiles" = three stars): |imgRemoved| There are two places where "SVEA" is visible: on the top plate: [/img] and on the needle (broken): |imgRemoved| Ther are holes in the top cup: [/img]|imgRemoved| And, apart, there is a strange little tube which is +/- 3 cm: (to ignite something ??) |imgRemoved| I have to clean it, I know... Any idea is wellcome !!
It's a keroburner; the pump tells it all, along with the spirit cup. The little tube is an igniter. It should have a bit of wick. Goes big end in the spirit cup. As the meths burn out, there's a bit of fire in the tube, the top of which is placed at the burner. Pump. Not, of course, necessary by any means.
What makes a stove a particular stove? My first stove has a tank by K F Ericssons, type Atlas No 1, the pot ring is a Radius, and the burner rings are Companion brand Svea Pattern, but we all agree to call it an Atlas/KFE. The readily replaceable bits can make identification hard, but probably your tank is really a Svea. The Three Stars trade mark is not familiar to me, but the surrounding "starburst" looks very much like the "Sievert" mark seen on some Svea stoves. The fuel intake tube and airscrew being on a flat recess on the tank top is also typical of some Svea stoves. Fr Laurence
The broken wire on the Pricker can be replaced or simply buy another.It maybe required to clean the jet. Your stove looks complete and should work fine.Does the pump washer pump pressure?
Yes, the pump washer seems to pump pressure... Thank you all for the enlightening . I'll try it someday outside and will say how it burns.
