View Full Version : coleman dual fuel sevice - how to?
I was using my brother sportser stove when lasdt out camping but it didn't sem to have that nice jet engine sound or that nice blue flame. It got a month of use went he went touring on the motor bike so I'm gues bits are a bit clogged up. Does anyone have any tips for sorting it out?
Yeah ... same thing happened to me mate. Empty out the fuel and then undo the nut on the end of the brass preheater (you might also need to undo a couple of screws holding the other end of the preheater). Then, unhook the rod holding the wire and remove the assembly. Then, take out the wire (be careful with it) and give it a clean and rinse some fuel through the preheater (and some air - human power). That fixed it for me but then I went onto an MSR.
If you need spare parts ... good luck. I never found any!
spare parts aren't a promblem to find for me www.cccoutdoors.com sell them
someone on here works there as does one of my mates. They are about £11 though just for the pre heating pipe :yikes:
What do you run through yours? Coleman fuel (which makes petrol seem positively cheap) or unleaded? The problem always comes with petrol and goes to show why cars are fitted with fuel filters.
I'f I could afford to run it on colemans petrol I'd buy an MSR
I think only pop stars who go camping run them on Coleman fuel ...
