Hi all, Just thought I would put up a photo or 2 of my recently acquired Primus 744 roarer burner. Tried firing it up as is but won’t hold any pressure in the tanks. Replaced the washers on the filler lid and pump lid and fitted a new leather pump cap to no avail. Seemed to be relatively clean in the tank before I refuelled it. Having few problems getting the NRV out at the moment. Any tips please? Awaiting washers to replace on all the burners. Got the “flame rings/spreaders?” from a local fabricator I know, not the exact size but should suffice for now. Surprisingly, the stove came cleaned-up like this. Some fuel is coming through on one burners but will not light. Could the burners be blocked up. Thanks in advance
Take care with the NRV. The best bet is to use a steel rod the same diameter as a snug fit in the pump tube (eg a bolt); with a slot cut 5mm wide and 5mm deep across the bottom of the rod. Use some acetone and or penetrating oil down the pump tube overnight before unscrewing the NRV. A lot of downward pressure while applying and lateral torque. Tony
