    Hi friends
    I recently picked up my first vintage camp stove. A primus 2048. It's a pretty sweet little guy, however I gave myself a scare today when lighting it. The left burner functions fine but the right burner didn't light and then the knob caught on fire. I disassembled everything and cleaned/lubed the valve and o ring. Reassembled and I got the burner lit but when I turned the gas low it puffed and lit the knob on fire again. What do you think? I'm kind of scared to use it now.
