Hobowankanobe, You'll have to show me a video of a 1950 running on kero or diesel. I need to learn how to do this. Mike
533s have the metered orifice F/A tube. If it's running properly, you shouldn't have to pump that much. If cleaning the F/A tube doesn't work,...
Yonadav, yup. Some good info in that thread. The impetus for this was to have a fairly detailed explanation in a single post. It will need pics...
Run for your lives! It's a 533 generator on steroids! That is without a doubt the LONGEST generator I have ever seen. Nice find. Mike
The 1950 is a different beast only in that the F/A rod is forced down to run and pulled up to restrict the hole in the light position. That's the...
The question of how the Coleman fuel/air tube works comes up quite often. This is an example of how the instant lighting feature works....
Welcome to the forum, Sounds to me like your fuel pickup on the bottom of the fuel/air tube is clogged. You will still get air from the top of...
You say it's trashed, but can be straightened and will still work fine regardless of the crunch or cracked nut provided the threads are ok. I've...
Probably fine for snow, but those going to the poles or Everest may want to think twice. Mike
Ron, a quick search brought some MOSTLY great initial info on HBNR. Better in every category for our use except low temp flexibility. Rubber...
John, my Nova has no control valve on the pump, so no spare there, but I see your point. In a pinch, you can at least use the stove if the mating...
Excellent as usual, John. Is there any noticeable difference in the hardness of the blue and black o-rings? I had some dealing with other blue...
Ah, that tricky wording. Optimus of Sweden and Made in Sweden. Can't tell by looking, but if that nut is ferrous, it could interfere with the...
So, your life's not worth a new stove?! Seriously though, even if that portion fails, it should still perform it's designed function, if a bit...
Oh, like lindal valve? lol Jim, you should know by now what a tough crowd this is here. HA! Mike
I'd cut it off flush and braze a bolt onto it. A welding shop should be able to do it pretty cheap. Mike
You can shave off micro thin strips and wind 347 turns around the spindle. LOL! Really doesn't matter as long as it's snug all the way around....
These stoves are awesome! Like taking the kitchen stove with you. You will love it. If you plan on using it, don't go overboard on the restore....
Though the burner is rated at 35,000 btu, it's limited by the gas tip in the generator. In this case, around 18,000. The gas tip can be...
I have 2 1-457 and 1-460 and a handful of parts from a 457 that this was made with. HGPs are truly amazing burners. Quiet and powerful. Mike
