Charlie! Rodger good buddy.

what fuel should put? is that kerosene?

I got the entire speech.

The Bible speaks of such things FIRST.

Glad to see someone else rebuilding the tried & true Coleman products. I buy, rebuild, give as gifts, sell or trade all manner of stoves, & lanterns. Keep up he good work. See you on the trail.

Trying to figure out why some 426D's have burner circles on the grill and others "like my 426D 2/69" don't? Just a bar pattern. Any info would help.

Sounds pretty good. I'll have to give it a try. When you gonna make a video about the new ride? We need to take it camping!

Way to go Joe ! Thanks for the info

Do you have tick season there? Here April and May are the worst months, Sometimes into June. But once it gets hot you don't really see many ticks. But that is when the Mosquitoes come out in force.

Interesting.🤔Thank you. I will have to try it.

Nice video Brother. Just for me personally. I like the extra space. If I have to pack it in a pack I am going with a 2 man tent. My gear can be inside, And I don't have that coffin feeling. On a trip/bike I am going with the Coleman. Check out the Mountain Smith I seen it for 140 I think. I paid 260 I think. I would have to text you the info on the MS. The older I get the more I just want bigger and roomier. If I was backpacking I like that yellow tent, If you have troubles with the yellow tent, Go with the coleman.

Great review of your three different tents. Thank you. Happy 4th of July to you and your loved ones and friends. 🎇🇺🇲🎆

Most my stoves give the month number/ year, not month letter/ year. The one I do have is a 413 that has an N in place of 11. I wonder why some do it one way and some do it the other?

I just got one without the tank. I got a propane adapter for it

Time for a nail clipping buddy

You put a 220 generator in 200 in better light

It's been 5 months, with over a thousand views, and only 17 likes. The video shows what a hard worker can do here with a minimum of tools. Prior to the next teardown, put a spot of penetrating oil on all threads the night before. I'd like to see a little more detail on that homemade(?) reflector. I realize it was a teardown video, but I'd like a better look to "cobble" one together. Many thanks.

Good looking lamp!

If the coil is stuck in the generator, try this. Take the tank off the stove, empty the tank of fuel, pump it up like 80 times, heat the generator with a hot propane torch from just behind the tip and work your way back. Keep the torch off the brass tip. Get it to a dull red or better and crank the valve open wide. Or take off the generator, remove the tip and needle, and heat it red hot and quench it in cold water several times. The smoke coming out when you heat it will burn if you light it, and it won't smell as bad. But keep heating it until the smoke stop coming out before you quench it. You may have to do it a couple of times, but they almost ALWAYS break free after this. Give it a try. DO NOT try to yank it out. You can PUSH it out with a hunk of round stock a block of wood and some tappy tappy. But if you try to pull it out and stretch it , it's all over. I quit using carb cleaner and brake clean on these years ago. Heat and quench it where it's at. It's fast and simple. Oh, one more thing. If you get the spring out and there's still a bunch of crap stuck to it, you can burn it off, just make sure to suspend it vertically or lay it flat on a fire brick or it will bend and never be right again. This is one of my favorite models. Heavy and very well built. Easy to work on. Simple great design. These are built like a tank. You can cut down just about any grate to fit them as well.

Nice! Looks like you've got the Coleman virus. If you're gonna get one, it's one of the better ones to get. A couple of tips. While every stove may perform a little different, the full quarter turn is pretty accurate to get the right fuel air mix on startup. An 8th will probably work fine, but may not allow enough throughput for sufficient air, so it may start up a bit rich. Bells and whistles went off when you opened the fuel cap while it was still burning. BAD IDEA!! I can't stress this enough. Especially when you finished the fill tilting the stove. If it was even slightly over filled, the dip tube filler neck, which is designed to prevent over filling to allow sufficient air space to compress and feed the instant lighting feature, would have been submerged in fuel and liquid fuel would have poured out at high velocity with a flame still burning. You can call me safety sally all you want. I've worked on hundreds and hundreds of Coleman stoves and lanterns over the years and I still get them over filled now and then. This was extremely close to a VERY exciting video. While there are a lot of bad reasons, there is no good reason to hold your thumb over the pump hole while tightening the stem. The check valve takes care of that for you. In fact, keeping pressure on the pump can actually do the opposite of what you think you're accomplishing. You think you're HOLDING pressure, when in fact you're more likely LOSING pressure doing it that way. The reason is, when pressure is equal on both sides of the check valve, it won't seat. Even a slightly leaking check valve will seal better than the average pump leather. IF you check valve leaks pretty bad and you are trying to keep using it until you can get it fixed, sure, do whatcha gotta do. I've seen all kinds of mythical methods and weird procedures. "take your thumb off on the up stroke", "start it on 5 pumps", "start it on low", "wait till you hear it spit, then light your match", etc, etc, and It's usually followed by a huge yellow flame and the operator talking like, "This is normal, you just have to wait for it settle down.". BS Follow the instructions to the letter. If that doesn't work, there is a problem with the stove. Most of these "procedures" will result in the same thing: A flooded generator that will take much longer to be ready for cooking. Enjoy the ride, hope you take this in the constructive tone I intended. Have a super memorial day weekend and honor the memories of our fallen military folks who paid the ultimate price for all of us.

soo, I got a Coleman 413G BUT mu date stamp is D 73 ..what is the D??? i know it isnt december,..4th quarter?

Great presentation 👏

You think the same way that I do I always use my used stoves and lanterns and save the new ones in the boxes 📦 🤔

I got into rebuilding these a few years ago. My wife thought I had a problem for a while there. She doesn't complain about it when I'm cooking full meals while camping or cooking outside to keep the heat out of the house in summer.

Nice stove! I use to have a whole box of nos parts to rebuild these and Coleman gas lanterns. Sold them at a flea market and regretted it ever since!

Your wife's a keeper. Great gift! These things are awesome and will still be working and hopefully used, by your great grandchildren. The following is offered only as constructive advice. It is not meant to demean or insult you. I speak from decades of experience with literally hundreds of stoves. Yes, I am a Coleman junkie. As a self admitted Coleman procedure Nazi, I want to thank you for following the instructions. It was a pleasant and rare surprise on KZbin. Some tips and observations: You may have done this before the video, but I recommend pressurizing the tank dry to test for leaks and pump operation prior to fueling. If you do have a leak, it's MUCH easier and less hassle to fix if there's no fuel in it. One thing I recommend is holding your lighter outside and below the burner ring so the only the top half of the flame is above and rim. This keeps the burner from snuffing out the lighter or match. It does appear that the tank is losing pressure. This is what caused the lazy yellow flame later in the video. Most likely the fuel cap gasket. Or less likely, a leaking check valve AND seat/air stem. The tank appears in great condition, so pin holes above the fuel line are not likely at all. Both are easy, cheap fixes. The cleanest, least exciting, light ups are achieved with LOTS of pressure. Especially with these "fat boy" tanks, 50 pumps is recommended on a FULL tank with little head space. Less fuel means even more pumps. For "instant lighting" to work as designed, high air volume and velocity are required. Lighting consumes a lot of air. But it works amazingly well. Brilliant engineering. You cannot over pressurize these tanks with the pump. They are designed with sufficient head space between the pump cup and the bottom of the pump tube to max out at about 40psi no matter how much you pump. At the Wichita factory, random tank samples were taken from each run and destructively hydro tested to 500psi. They ended up looking like a balloon, but didn't burst, split, or leak. Light the match/lighter and hold it to the burner BEFORE quickly opening the valve all the way. "Test" opening the valve and "waiting for the spit" floods the generator and will only make the process take longer. This isn't a lantern with a tiny gas tip. It should light within 2 or 3 seconds. If the burner tubes and bunsen are clean and free of insects, webs or other debris, it will not flare up. As soon as it lights, start pumping to keep up the pressure necessary for good fuel atomization that is the key to the instant lighting system. I hope you try it and pass it on if you like the results. Let me know if you don't. If the above tips don't work, every time, something is wrong with the stove or the fuel is contaminated. Again, I hope you take this for the constructive advice it was intended to be.

You can see that the u-tube is cast not sheet metal , like the stoves from the 50s .Nice stove .

That is pretty wild, I don't know anyone that has ever stored their lantern upside down. But then most user manuals are gone when I get a lantern. I may be getting 2 stoves. One is a 2 burner with a griddle if you have ever seen one like that. Not sure what they are. My Mom was gonna pick them up for me. 8 bucks for both though. Thanks for the info Brother.

Good to hear from you again! Keep them videos rolling my friend👍😁

Never heard of this , pretty cool

That looks like it's in great condition. Definitely a keeper.

Yep, that ones a keeper. The wife too😂

Lookin’ good. Thanks for the tip on the Emerald Isle high gloss rust-oleum paint

Those are great heaters. I have the taller version but it's the same heater inside. I use mine to heat two stalls in my three car garage (I have a roll up curtain to block off the third stall) and it will keep it over 65 degrees just fine. They run so cheap you can use it 24/7 and keep the shop warm all the time!

I'm restoring a 426D three burner and like the look of the aluminum spray you used so picked up the same can of rustoleum high performance paint. Looking at the can though it doesn't say it's high heat. Did you notice any issues using it. Want to paint the burners but am having second thoughts using it.

Hey bud. First of all thanks for making the video. I've been in to classic Coleman lanterns for awhile but came across one of the older three burners at an estate sale today and it peaked my interest since it burns the white fuel instead of propane tanks. They were selling it for $65 but it was the last day so everything was half off so it was $32.50. It looks to be in great shape but what should I look for functionality wise before trying to fire it up.

Cook on one of these every day. Just wanted to let you know that you dont have to pump if you have an air compressor. Those tanks will hold alot of pressure. Just turn the screw out about 7 or so time and put your rubber tipped nozel dead center with the hole in the knob and squeeze the trigger. Start out with low pressure till you get used to doing it but you can get these stoves running as hot as a jet motor.

Nice

Good info,

Yeah....

Thank you sir I'm sending your package next week

Joe the stove man! Awesome!👍

No problem

Good morning Joe

Bought a 68 426D a couple weeks ago from Goodwill for $9.99 . Never knew there was a 3 burner, only saw the 2 burners. Cleaned it up and the burners light and burn well. Not as good as this one. Hoping it is the pump cup. someone put a plastic one in sometime. just have not ordered it yet. Also got lucky and my local BassPro had the propane converter hanging on the shelf. Definitely going to paint the interior metal with high temp paint. to protect it. Still debating on leaving the rest as is or repainting it. From a collecting standpoint these stoves really do not have a very high value unless they have the original box and instructions and in near new condition. Really no restore value. Now to get my grandfather's old stove and lanterns.

Don't get the ball nut tight on the vent. If you do, when the heat expands the vent, it will damage the porcelain and cause it to crack.

Hey buddy give me a shout when you get a chance!

Should leave them alone if you have no idea what you are doing
