@Odd What is the reason that you drilled a third hole in the wind shield, instead of enlarging the smaller one, that is already there? Kind...
I think if the pip seal would be unreasonably dangerous it would not be used in modern stoves. I have a pretty new (months old) Primus Pump, which...
@Doc Mark You could probably also use phosphoric acid (which as it seems is the active ingredient in Ospho). I have not yet tried it on a...
@kerophile The link you provided regarding sodium hydroxide suggests that brass is not suitable for storing it, but I can't really imagine the...
I think the jet is too large, so you probably have to get a new generator. But what you could try first is to use a small bolt and a hammer to...
