I’ve made quite a few hobo stoves and also aluminum can alcohol burners in the past. The paint on this tin is in great shape, so thanks for the tip!
I noticed a small leak in the cap after it was pressurized so, I just tightened it down with a 10mm wrench. That was solved. When I first...
My Primus 71 just arrived today and I am testing it for the first time. I am familiar with self pressurizing tanks from using my SVEA 123R for the...
I will do that. Thank you. Also, I replaced the leather on the pump stem yesterday and there is a dramatic difference in the ability to pressurize...
I have to go to Ace Hardware today anyway to fill up some jerry cans with kerosene (this location still has the old style pump tank in the back...
The new leather arrives today, so after I install it, I’ll see if that helps build more pressure. By the way, Duane, your recommendation about...

And I thought the toilet roll famine only occurred here in the US…:lol:
Easy question for y’all. Since this model of stove does not have the small hole to add oil to the pump, do I just need to unscrew the housing...
Thank you, Reese. After this tank of unleaded, I will go back to Coleman fuel. I was merely “testing” the stove with unleaded fuel. Now, I know...

Well, I just tried lighting it again tonight. Works like a charm. What gives??? [ATTACH]
I spent some time today working on the 530, with mixed results. I filled the kitchen sink and found the leaks. #1: Bubble every 1 second from the...
:thumbup:
Thanks. I temporarily replaced the old cap with a good cap from a 502. I could still hear the leak. I also tried soapy water.
I will try squirting the fuel into the pump tube as you recommend. I will also not try to remove the CV. Thanks, Duane. Done and replied. Thanks.
When I pulled the pump shaft earlier, the leather looked like it was disintegrating. So it needs replacing anyway. I’ve tried using soapy water...
I decided to first replace the leather in the pump and also the back up plate. So, I ordered this kit from Amazon. I'll see if it helps when it...
Thank you, Neil.
