It worked. NRV removed and cork pip exchanged… sadly though there’s a constant loss of pressure, which is a shame as otherwise it’s lovely. The...
I shall try that @Blackdog … luckily I do have a lot of suitable wire lying around. It’s just insanely frustrating… I’ll let you know how I get...
Hi all… Found a nice Burmos at the weekend - minimal wear and will be a lovely stove when done but… … while the NRV loosened nicely it’s got (I...
I was using the Gaz Bleu stoves (complete with large tin and built in windshield…) through the late 80s until very recently. Incredibly reliable...
Rest assured @Blackdog its not your soldering! I did a dunk test before firing and all was well. The possible loss may be from the spirit cup...
Thank you! This is one labour intensive stove - especially for a small one too… so will the weird angle of the burner affect performance, hence...
Everything below the tubes is vertical if that helps … it looks like it’s had a hell of blow at some point I’m guessing…
Burners eh? Who’d have ‘em… so after a bit of a medical relapse I’ve just started having a fettle and finally got around to tackling a crud...
I did indeed... anyway, have tried again today with a different Valor burner & matching outer and inner cap and it's pretty much the same. Sedate,...
I’ll test fit another burner tonight. All seals have been replaced - nothing left on. Yes you can blow through the burner there doesn’t seem to be...
Sorry - not burner, jet! My apologies … on press today and somewhat distracted… c
Not a bad shout @Blackdog - gave it a brief clean in citric acid, heated it up to loosen any more remaining pieces of carbon and then used a bendy...
I normally give 10 pumps or enough for a good fog of vapour to emerge from the outer cap. It takes 10 for even a small hiss to happen. The old...
Quick query here regarding the 2 pint Burmos that I’ve just bought back to life - it seems a tad weak for want of a better word. Basically when...
Interesting thread this… I don’t know enough about the topic yet but I am drawn to the British ones as well - I love the little Burmos 21 in its...
Well this one is a bit of a mongrel too. Close inspection revealed a Valor burner - it didn’t have an outer cap so I’ve borrowed the one from the...
OK… small update. I did indeed get a new NRV tool - from Base Camp - and it’s a beauty! Cracked three stubborn NRVs I had without much of a...
If anyone is making them and selling them I’m in - name your price! The two I’ve bought so far have distorted heads and are prone to slipping! I...
Fettling projects four and five have turned up and that really is it until this lot gets working! Anyway, for those who may be interested … a...
I’ve ordered some new ones - will keep you posted. Gutted tbh … genuinely don’t see how it went in wonky or cross threaded
