That is how my recent Primus 96 was advertised as well. In addition, the burner was mounted on the reserve lid boss. The seller described it as an...
Hi, does anyone perhaps have a bit of 1/8" viton to spare? The pips in two of my Primus 71 SRV's are too hard an leak a bit. I repaired them with...

Hi, I polished that area and it looks fine. No cracks visible after polishing. I just got a brand new "old-stock" lipstick vapourizer tube, with...

YES - got it out - read through the forums and and decided to make a Torx 10 bit so that it fitted the joint key - took almost 1 hour with a...
:( When installing a new jet in the burner head which I had just cleaned (heat/quench) of my Radius 21 (same as Primus 210), I tightened it too...
Thanks, yes, I have a windshield so I'll use that. Also, tried out the flame spreader from my recently aquired Radius 21 (not running yet) which...
