I fired up my Svea 123 today to try out my new Olicamp 1 L pot. The flame is very strong and very blue but it is much stronger on 2 sides of the...
I'm not exactly clear on the model number designations either. As far as the wire bail that secures the stove...now I'm not sure that all the...
Bajabum, that's exactly the kit I'm looking for, minus the stove. Sure you don't want to sell it? :wink:
Normally I would be happy to post pictures but this deal fell through. The seller didn't want to ship. My search continues....
I just bought it. A moderator can delete this entire thread.
I'm not looking to resell. I want a smaller cookset than my Sigg Tourist for backpacking. I guess the wire bail allows the stove to be transported...

You're probably right. I should hold on to both, at least for a while. I'd actually like to use these on some summer/fall backpacking trips. Might...
Thanks for all the helpful advice about getting these running. Thanks to the Fettlebox for the quality parts. Thanks to Stu for the NRV wrench....

When I ordered the parts for my stoves I got some HDPE NRV washers in addition to the lead. I might give those a try today when I reassemble.
Interesting, Sam. What size o-ring?
On the other 96 it was stuck at the bottom of the tube and I had to pick it out. I'm not seeing/feeling one here.
Thanks, Ken! This is my first kero burner. Really like these stoves. I just popped the NRV on my other 96 (1937). It was a bit tighter but came...
Loose NRV was the problem. No drips now. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I checked the pip with a paperclip and it is moving freely against the spring pressure. I put the wrench on the NRV and tightened it a bit...
