I got this about a month ago at a used sporting goods shop in Asheville, NC. It lit with the fuel that came with it. I have cleaned it a little, and await parts to bring it back to top notch. Here are the pictures. Ken in NC
Just like mine except mine has no sticker, the 111B is stamped into the case. Mine works perfectly, no fettle of any sort needed. I have learned that self-priming is a mistake as fuel gets sprayed all over the place, making an unpleasant fireball when lit. After that incident resulting in no hair on my right hand and wrist, I'll prime from here on out with meths only, much less exciting. I've wondered for a while what the letter "B" indicates, perhaps "Bensin"? If so, what does the "T" stand for on the kero burning version? Inquiring minds and all that. Gerry
Hi Gerry, Thanks. Is the stamped version earlier? Seems cheaper to put a decal. My other 2 111's are stamped. The "T" is a triple fuel. Gas, kero, and alcohol. Diesel, too. Is there a letter for the kero version? Or is it just 111? Ken
