@MyDearFount when you say pencil torch, are you referring to a butane torch? I would be concerned you would not get the object being repaired hot...
Thank you all for the kind words. I'm looking forward to our annual fish fry come July.
This was a full restore. Sandblasted and powder coated frame. Textured paint for the tank to hide dings. VHT paint on the burner and grates to...
I understand they're different, but without a check valve and/or NRV on that other hole it can't possibly be to pressurize the fount.... Does...
Duane, if it's like every other Coleman with that style check valve, that hole on the side will not pressurize the fount. Yours is the only one...
There's not a check ball like every other Coleman check valve with an air stem positive shutoff?
Duane, as you know Coleman used that same check valve on most of their GPA starting in 1927 till a few years after WW2 minus the hole yours has...
Thank you all for the kind words. I suppose I needed a test of my brazing skills and anger management. In years past I might've chucked this...

Great pair of AGM's Jeff!
Thank you all for the kind words. @presscall John you're correct in your assessment. I'm post a photo showing the backside of the knob that shows...
Picked this one up at last weekends Missouri gathering. Basically all I did was rebuilt the fuel system, lube up the auxiliary burner control and...
How about a March 30th entry that did not fit the March theme, but does fit the April theme? :) My whole life I've been at the wrong place at the...
Thank you for the kind words folks. @ulysses you are correct. To my surprise Evinrude produced their first gasoline powered outboard in 1909!
Produced by the Hercules stove company circa 1917-20 from my online reading. Missing the original pump and funnel. If you have more to add to that...
I recently made a rack for my No.2. I made it as close to an original as I could with the material I had. Also a diffuser... Not sure why these...
I've got a photo of the key handy, but not the measurements you need. If you don't find something before Monday give me a holler. I can get you...
