    I have this old kook rite stove that I found in my great grandpas barn and I'd love to restore it to working order. Looking for any kind of information or any advice on how to go about this. Thanks IMG_4964.jpeg IMG_4966.jpeg IMG_4969.jpeg IMG_4970.jpeg

    Cool find, glad to hear you are going to restore to working order and likely keep.

    Absolutely! Just looking for information on how these work and what the different parts do. I'm more familiar with the newer style Coleman stove but this is a bit different

    You didn’t post a pic of the other end of the tank. The pump likely screws onto the end to pressurize the tank. Fuel cap gasket will need replacing, pump cup in the pump oiled. The angled valve should be the start up valve, opened a turn or two to let more air to mix with gas when just firing up, then closed after the genny gets warmed up. The other valve is the main valve of course to regulate the burner.
