Hi Lumberjack, Welcome to CCS. The jet-nipple key pictured is for smaller nipples. The Opti 111 and other stoves that have internal jet cleaning...
@OMC Coleman stashed the instructions under the bottom flap in the box. Have a look and maybe you'll get lucky if the previous owner didn't find...
This is true for Swedish, German, British and other European stoves but the modern Asian made inexpensive jets do not seem to have the same strict...
Welcome to CCS Miarobi. There are some advantages for the older kerosene wick heaters. Number one of course is that they are portable and do not...
It looks like the question of the grease has been answered by @Dutchmike in Williams second thread Enders 9061 help The Germans packed them with...
Cosmoline is a brown colored oily, waxy ointment like substance. Maybe it will turn black if heated but I'm not sure. I would be surprised if the...
Hi Willy, These are silent runners and should never sound like jet engines. If the gas is burning inside the cap rather than outside the cap...

I have a Primus 51 with the same flat fuel cap and air tube with bleed screw. They made this style only for a short period around 1954. 51's and...
Robert, Fettlebox has these. You'd probably be better off with the 111 service kits which comes with a fill cap washer, srv and nrv pips, pump cup...
You need to puff the leather up with some oil. There is another thread going right now with oil suggestions. I like ballistol, hoppes and regular...
@Simes I assume Simes is talking about the cleaning needle. I've removed the cleaning needle from my 111 but only because I needed to remove the...
