This jet really doesn’t want to go on and the threads are looking a little worn to say the least. It just doesn’t seem to want to bite correctly...
I suspect it was me alas. I do have a spare nipple - albeit a bit bigger. I’ll try and fit in the morning
Did wonder … it was tight coming off but seemed looser going back on. Seemed to go slack / stiff / slack again if you see what I mean? Worth...

Happy New Year all... So, having conquered the fiend that is the Buflam, I decided to branch out and get myself a smaller stove to fettle - one...

Now this looks a bit better… same hiss but no lapping flame. Replaced pump cup leather and had a new old stock inner cap lying around, so used...

So, this morning… lit using the technique from Kerophile and… it burns with a soft hiss. My only query would be is there supposed to be flames...
Thanks guys … I’ll try kerophiles lighting technique tomorrow … fingers crossed C
So, some six months later … success. I’m not sure what I’ve done to get a result but… anyway, I’ve changed the seals again for some genuine...
