You pumped it up way too much. 6 to 10 pumps at first and be patient with the pre heat. Turn the lever to left when it starts to jet during the preheat. Then slowly pump it up 10 more times once the lever is turned completely to the left and flame is blue.
Dude you don't know how to properly light the unit follow the instructions Pump 10x Only then prime first for 3sec turn valve off !!! then light THE UNIT WILL AUTOMATICALLY START TO HISS AFTER 1 MIN THEN TURN VALVE ALL THE WAY OPEN ! BAM BLUE FLAMES THEN 10X MORE PUMP AIR THAT IS ALL YOU KNEED NOT 20 PUMPS 30 PUMPS 40 PUMPS OF AIR . ---> JUST 20 PUMPS AND YOUR GOOD TO GO AT LEAST FOR 45 MIN ... THEN CAN ADD MORE AIR BUT NO MORE THEN 10 PUMPS
I'm not sure if this is a low pressure unit. I'd have to re read the instructions. It's been a while since I've made this video. I know the military lanterns are low pressure. I'm not so sure on these ones.
I have been looking at your videos, you do a great job. These stoves are dangerous so you need to get this right. First as pointed out, make sure no leaks, replace the seals VIP, these are pressure vessels. (Old Colman parts)Lighting follow what Archie sayers below, preheat at least 2 min so fuel vaporises. The lighting here, is what not to do. During the war the seals were left damaged so if the stoves where used by the enemy they would blow up. These stoves are my favourite, the history is incredible.
Disassemble and clean the parts cuz it hasn't been cleaned in a while I can tell by the way it is acting, and you need to preheat for 15 minutes before you turn it up. You can also desolder all the solder parts and for cleaning then reassemble them with new solder, but you need to use flux to draw the solder into the joints and then do and pressure test for leaks. And I bet the tanks need to be clean too.
@@crookedlantern3810 While technically, the Korean war is still under a cease fire, other than a couple of bizarre incidents in the DMZ(Demilitarized Zone aka No Mans Land) hostilities were active from 1950-53. These were still in the inventory when I was in Germany in 1989-93. These were still part of the basic issue items(BII) for our rocket launchers. No one had them, though. There was a space labeled "STOVE" in one of the storage boxes. I ordered the NSN(National Stock Number) from the manual and the damn thing came in! The supply sergeant liked it so much he kept it for himself. What a jerk. Never saw one again until year later when Ebay came into being. Dangerous pump design.
Got to love the m1950 stove. Sometimes they can be a little cranky and cold natured. Just give it a little more preheat. Great video. Thanks for sharing and God bless.
What’s the Rogers in Rogers Akron Ohio ? Why is that stamped into them? Thanks, that’s cool and I’m looking at them on fleabay now and several say Rogers on them. Thanks again
Hi great video I have a stove that is from Rogers I think it was made in 1953 anyway that pump assembly the two screw caps I cannot get them to unscrew I tried to use two pair of channel locks and just did damage to the brass knurling I don’t want to damage anything anymore any tips on how to get those two pieces unscrewed
Soft jaws on a vice grip perhaps. Then use a little bit of heat. Use electrical tape on the pliers to prevent it from marking the brass. You can try soaking it in some break free style fluid. Sounds maybe rusted or corroded together.
However, because this is the military stove, parts are hard to find these days. I would start by identifying the specific parts that need to be replaced, for instance, if it's just the rubber pip in the end, you can cut your own. If it's the leather cup, you can try a lantern cup. Really, those are the 2 items that may not work.
