Thank you both for the reply. Now I wish I kept it. I think I sold it with the bottle
I’ve had a few pre-owned ones with the off-center stem/burner bell. Pretty easy to bend them to where they belong.
Can anyone tell me what me what the red circular item is in this picture? I had one attached to a Sigg fuel bottle by a string. Now I see the same...
Not much to fail on these. If it’s working good now before your trip, an extra fuel cap seal or entire extra cap with a good seal should be all...
Nice resurrection! Looks to be running very nicely. You did a great job removing the extra bars on top of the grate. If you didn’t show the...
Finally got back to the stove. Had a heck of a time getting the pricker out. It was loose but would not come out. Had to crank counterclockwise...
Mine is flush when fully extended.
Tony & Fettle, thank you for clarifying that. I thought I had the valve full left and the pricker still wouldn’t come out. Thought the spindle was...
Ditto what threedots said. The pip holders from The Fettlebox work great with the existing spring and a flat pip. At least in Svea 123/Optimus 80...
Good info, thanks! I’ll give an update after resetting it. Just have to get the spindle out so I can remove the pricker. Might be a few days until...
Yes, it’s off.
The spindle is not coming out easily. Perhaps the graphite packing is too tight. I’ll take my time on it, stove has seen very little use by the...
Thanks. I’ll reset it. I’m guessing it’s the same method as a 123R. Had to crank shut a little too hard to extinguish the flame on my 2nd light up...
I can’t provide any information but I will say that is a neat paperweight!
Hi all. While checking over my recently acquired 8R, I noticed that the cleaning needle does not rise above the jet when the valve is turned fully...
Looks to be running great. Nice job on the refurbishment! Compared to a lot of Optimus 111 & 8R stoves I’ve seen, that one looks to have had a...
I believe this is the area the OP is talking about. You can see where he added an o-ring in the picture on the right. [ATTACH]
Thanks for sharing your journey on this project. You persevered and did an amazing job bringing it back to life! In understand the greater...
Older post but just an observation. If the plastic knob is original, how could you adjust the flame while the burner is inserted in the case? I...
Successful fettle, first fire today! All of the seals/pips have been replaced. Original pump cup in good shape and re-used. Thanks to all for the...
