I just love the German language...schmutz is a great word and my word was my almost new Omnilite full of Schmutz. I bought it from a Danish...
If I were starting my modern stove collection again...well first of all I'm not truly a collector. I collect enough to keep me happy with covering...
A camping stove is always a compromise...Diesel burns well in my MSR XGK. I'm guessing it might burn well in the Nova as well but I only run...
I would check the valve on the burner. It seems if you have changed jets and tried both gas and gasoline then it isn't a jet issue. 'Flames'...
I have been using this one the past month or so after I got this shipped from Amazon USA. I had ordered it twice from Amazon Deutschland and each...
Kerosene is mother’s milk to the Nova. It is a fantastic stove.
I got 3in1 oil and that gave it the lubrication needed. I can see how these rubber pump cups could fail quite quickly with insufficient...
I tried flooding the cup with WD-40 confident it would be very smooth but...no. It is the cup itself which is just too flexible and I think you...
I did some reading and searching. Most of my stoves I run on kerosene but this one runs on naptha. Kerosene is very oily so any kerosene getting...
I checked the one way valve and it was fine. I did swap it to test it with the valve assembly in the XGK service kit. It seems that there is...
Something odd is happening and I'm not sure it is just a pump cup issue. The pump cup just came off in the shaft so I reinstalled it on the shaft...
Interesting stove...it looks huge...powerful? I imagine these stoves use kerosene? Nice flame.
This is the Optimus Nova running Shellite.[ATTACH]
I can't go back in time and rule fuel out 100% but the fuel was fresh and it was not performing well on diesel right from the start when it burnt...
The blocked filter was definitely NOT caused by fuel. It is always nice when you can prove to yourself what the cause of something is. In this...
Diesel has been a success in the XGK. The XGK has definitely lived up to the burn anything (within reason) reputation. That nice big generator...
Toast and Diesel (providing heat not flavour)...on my XGK
I just used BP Premium Diesel from the pump...it was the only choice I had so that made it easy. This is Australia too but diesel will be similar...
I'm finding diesel to be a pretty good fuel now that I can use it with just as much cleanliness as any other fuel. I timed the priming with...
I will run out of diesel before I find out… It shouldn’t need any more cleaning than any other stove if you keep it clean by priming carefully...
