Daryl, I’m getting the same. I put on a known good cap from another stove. Running much better. Doesn’t dial down as good as some of my 123 stoves...
Hello all. Picked up my first Optimus 99 a few months back. Overall in great shape. Fired it up today for the first time. Gonna need a new cap...
If you haven’t had success yet, acetone (nail polish remover) will soften the red sealer. The sealer is actually Gasiola. Careful if using a strap...
Do a search for the same on the Svea 123. There are many threads on the topic. The design is the same.
A recent acquisition. Complete except for the box. Came with 2 pot holders which are stamped “Sigg”. Stove date stamp = 1/86. I’ll keep this unused!
Putting a pot on top would probably help it smooth out faster due to the heat reflecting downwards, especially when it’s colder out.
That’s awesome! Welcome to the forum. I’m mildly addicted to the Svea 123. I’ve accumulated about 6 or 7 of them over the past few years in...
Confirming that #2 clock key fits Svea 123 very well. Just picked one up today (key, not stove). [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Reviving old thread. I picked up a #2 clock key at a clock repair business today for less than $3. It fits my Svea 123 valve stem very nicely...
Yes, I read that. The ones I posted pics of are true pentaganol bits, no rounded corners.
Looks like the Amazon offerings are not quite right, either. There's a 3mm and then it jumps to 4.35mm. There's another set with a 4.03mm bit...
This was just what I was looking for (0.145 inches, or 3.6 mm), thanks all for your replies. I had modified a hex wrench (one of those cheapy Ikea...
Hi. Does anyone have a proper penta screw tool that fits the Svea 123 fuel cap and can tell me the measurement from one of the flats to the...
Yes, I am aware I did not need to change the spreader. I just wanted to see the difference in the flame with a spreader at a different height....
JP2, I put on a different burner bell where the flame spreader sits a bit higher and gave it a try this morning. The flames were definitely...
JP2, thanks for that! I’ll switch the burner bell assembly with one of my other stoves to see how the flame changes.
I had it in the freezer and then stuck in a bucket of water. No leaks. It did get a bit less yellow after running a while but still not like some...
OK, my mind kept wandering back to this cap issue. Issue solved. I needed to isolate the issue to the pip or SRV as the source of leakage. I...
Not too complicated for me. The cap is actually quite simple in operation and being as all sealing components new and mating surfaces clean I am...
