@hikerduane I thought I was going to mess up drilling for the extractor, I started with a 7mm drill but that was snatching badly. So I went for a...
@Dean yes I have projects 2 and 3 lined up but they are not stoves. 3 is a paraffin lamp that I have not seen yet; I think it is paraffin,...
@Dean, no I was very surprised by how little pumping was required; I thought it would need constant pumping. Vigorous pumping just made the flame...
Well it is not the massive flame that some of you post: [ATTACH]
I think Grandad's camp stove is complete and good for a first (in may years) firing. I still have work to do on the wind shield (not shown) and...
I thought I was going to scrap it drilling down at the bottom of the pump tube but I kept the drill central and extracted the old NRV. [ATTACH]...
The tools finally arrived and I had a new jet fitted in seconds. however the NRV is seized solid. With the tool in a vice and the stove pushed...
A bit more stove history and possibly the cause of the overheating? Original trivet and legs lost, that's ok just knock a set up: [ATTACH] The...

As suggested I have searched for underburn and read a few threads. What I did notice is that one stove that had issues had a second cap under the...
Done a first pass crud removal today and wiped with an oily rag. Still have the detail to clean and a final polish but Ill do that when...
More evidence that this stove has been abused? Burner cap pitted, distorted and bits missing: [ATTACH]
I've finally caught up with all of the recommended reading, very useful thank you. I'll be doing some thinking before attempting to tidy up the...
Thank you all, it's coming out. I need to know what is going on there. Will report back when I have it out. In the meantime what do you think...
I did say my Granddad had poor engineering skills. It appears the the stove has failed in the past and the solution was to throw lots of solder...
All, when I first saw the stove I was being given I thought that will make a good ornament. There was no way I would run a pressurised petrol...
@Paul Lydon , just got off the phone to my dad. He ran it on leaded petrol. I need to clean the deposits and also the melted lead washer out of...
