I'm having some success. By golly I was able to tighten the valve a full revolution from where I originally started! Now I guess I have that...
OK, the soap & water test revealed a leak where the valve screws into the tank. I tightened the valve to the next window...still leaks. I will...
Thanks guys, I'll check those areas and see what I find. Yes, I did pre-heat with meths. I know that I could tighten the valve into the tank...
I'm a rank amateur but if I had to guess it seems like a weak flame, little pressure. Where might the leak be?
OK, I got a new pump cap and graphite for the 123, put 'er all back together, filled with fuel and let the wick start soaking. After about 2 hrs....
Many years ago, when I was a mere 16 years old, I went to Alaska and spent a month on the Matanuska glacier climbing peaks. There were 7 of us...
HJ, check this link (hopefully it worked). https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/271 These are instructions from Optimus on how to set the...
That is so cool! After seeing that I am officially on the prowl for a disc stove. Well done!

Thanks Jim! Would some type of thread sealant goop be advisable? I think there was some on the threads when I disassembled it as I had to clean...
abman, I caught 'em, of course :clap: ! I think "Shine on you crazy diamond" refers to the 123R I'm working on. Parramethtrol, are you...
The next in a long line of rookie questions :-k I'm ready to re-install the vaporizer back onto the fuel tank. I can turn it to the "1" on the...
Don't worry about dishing out too much info. Hell, I've asked for your opinions and I love to get all the info I can. Honestly...I appreciate...
Al, Thanks for that info. Re; the safety pip...I guess my concern is that it won't operate when it needs to. Is that a concern at all or is the...
Let's assume that I can get a nitrile gasket for the fuel cap, or make one. If the safety pip leaks then I will obviously need a new cap. But do...
Thanks Doc! I just tried to call A&H at both numbers listed on their website and it says that both #'s are disconnected. Any ideas?
OK. Here's where I'm at. Disassembly complete. [ATTACH] I probably didn't have to go this far but in the interest of wanting to know how...
Wow Jim, Thanks for all that info, I really appreciate it. I have NEVER lit a gas stove of this type. I'm used to my 2 burner Coleman 413E....
