Glad it worked for you - it certainly helps minimize the potential for making a mess with solder, which I'm quite good at :-)
Finally got it connected together and connected up to a compressor... The burners I have are all clear, so I'll have to wait a while to use it in...
What I had in mind was something like a set of feeler gauges that would distinguish a range of jet sizes... Probably of limited utility though. I...
This the only small stove I ever managed to find in Australia. Comparing with the pictures in the Gallery, a fair number of parts look to be...
That's the plan - it's missing the compressed air at the moment.
The 58T printed gear worked perfectly - only needed to ream the bore. My design error luckily meant that the gear meshing on the lathe was...
Wonderful. What would you recommend as a brazing torch - is the usual canister with screw-on burner good enough for this?
Amazing - the mystery of using the short Primus taps solved. No flutes or hardening required on the tap - I guess it picks up the damaged thread...
Thanks - that's really helpful. I'll give it a try. Regards Murray
Well - I drew the gear with FreeCAD and sent it off to a 3D printing service. Perhaps it will work...
So - a very short tap, maybe meant to be used with the jet removal key?
Certainly true for most roarers except for the type with a screwed plug in the middle, but not a problem for most silent burners, I'd have...
This is an idle idea, but to have good ideas you have to have lots of ideas (attrib. Linus Pauling) If the thread strips out on a jet seat, the...
Hi All, I've ordered an M14.5x0.75 tap, but I also noticed that if I had a 58T change gear on my chinese lathe (lead screw pitch 1.5mm) I could...
A smear of copper grease is a bit unprincipled but got the stove burning blue with the new jet.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] My second attempt is considerable improvement - better concentricity, better thread, drilled with a carbide 0.3mm drill so the jet can...
was a failure. Leakage past the threads - the threads are a bit dodgy in spite of using a tail-stock die holder. The angle on the mating surface...
My efforts diligently searching the Forums were rewarded...
Wow... very cool Regards Murray
T W Sands & Co, the lampshop in Melbourne used to recommend Shell Kero - I bought a drum or two from WesFarmers in Victoria. That was a long time...
