I just did one last week and used wd40 and steel wool,buff with mothers mag..did pretty good. Just a real good clean up before so not too damage the surface..

Just soak 5 minutes in Beerymans B12 varburetor cleaner. Chepaer and faster.

Thanks sir Great presentation. Are most of the cardboard tunes standard size to fit most lanterns generators.😊

Great video ! Much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻

where else could you source these gaskets other than old coleman parts. I'm in Canada and shipping from old coleman parts is almost $20!

Thank you!

Love the 220 vents

That is not just cardboard

Honestly man, watching you getting the job done with that messed up hand earned you another subscriber!

Hola el tutorial es muy bueno me perdonan pero entiendo español por favor gracias

Looks like I'm going to Ollies today.

Do you have any info on replacing the vapour valve? How can I remove the lever and needle?

You sir have a great lantern connection.

I think the last parts 200 was a Canadian

From someone who has been in his garage you would not believe the amount of lanterns this man has!

Please, please, please. Light these things after the repairs. So disappointed not to see it run. 😢.

I’ve got three electrics. One older green one, a modern red one, and an old grey rechargeable one.

I subscribed to your channel months ago,thought you disappeared.

I gravitate to the tools / machinery that need the attention that nobody else wants. Make it a runner ..... that's what it was made for. I have a 200A that will probably need the Caswell as well.

Why are the thurmas lanturns crak are the walls to thin

You need to watch so KZbin videos before you make one

Just subscribed! Would love to see more Frankenstein lanterns.

Thank you for video , I to have a Frankenstein AGM hat on a 242 I picked up recently.

What model propane lanturn did the vent an cage come off of that's cool thanks

The fuel pickup tube is either clogged or stuck in the closed position. You will need to remove it and boil it in vinegar and flush it with carburetor cleaner. Give the spring a little stretch to give it a little life. If this one was mine, I would definitely want to get it running. Very cool lantern indeed. Thanks for sharing, and God bless.

Most likely it wad asbestos inside the generator. If you had kept it intact, you could have burned the carbon off with your torch. It would have turned snow white and good as new. The main thing is keeping it wet. Don't let it get airborne. When you reassemble it, soak it with fuel or carburetor cleaner to keep it wet.

I've made some 3d printed lantern vises. It fits 200a, 220 and 275 founts would you be interested in trying one for free? Looks like you could use one.

I’d clean out, and seal the fount, then run it just how she is.

Yes! Be selective! The last thing you want to be is one of those guys who has their garage full of 220’s and 228’s. I would fire up that 242 if I were you. You will find that they are one of the best running, and easiest to work on lanterns Coleman ever made. I have a 242c, and a 249. The 249 is a kerosene model.

Awww - you put it back in a runner and didn't show us a light up ! Sacrilegious 😁

Dang…ya never fired her up !

Good job Bo

I can’t believe I watched the whole video, and I enjoyed it. Nice work.

That’s an impressive haul! Thanks for sharing. Nice Olight Arkfeld by the way.

You should avoid tubular oil lanterns. Dietz as an example. You will run out of space

Light that Thermos up🔥

I have a question you might be able to answer, have a dual fuel lantern I’m restoring kinda custom cause it was considered a loss due to rust and being in the salty coast . Runs now but having problem with it runs good then slowly dying out even though it’s gots plenty of fuel and pressure! What can cause this ?

Curious to see what you do with the big custom tall lamp!

Awesome haul!

I just bought one of these battery powered Coleman vintage lights

Are those old propane bottles worth anything? Bernzomatic

Did you know you put your cap on backwards? Better check your shoes too.

Nice collection!

Thank you!

Name her Rosie, after the AC/DC song. As the lyrics go: "She ain't exactly pretty, ain't exactly small."

The bandage on the hand and watching you stumble through this sure gives more context to the channel name.

Is the process the same for 502 stoves? Someone mentioned holding the valve closed while removing the keeper nut, is that an issue?

It works a whole lot better to remove the burner frame and collar.

I love the Frankie. I would call it a 278a.

Dude, it's so much easier to take the valve off the fuel line and assemble it off the stove. On 502s, like most Coleman products, the instructions are printed on the stove. READ THEM. They tell you that the lighting lever goes out, horizontal, away from the stove to light, NOT UP, like on a suitcase stove. Quarter turn on the valve give you air/fuel mix for starting, lighting lever out gives you full feed rate and velocity for good atomization and quickest starts with minimum yellow flare. When the needle came off the eccentric block during the first assembly attempt it was still going to light. I could hear air. Then, when you messed with the lever, it pushed the needle forward completely blocking the gas tip. But since the hood wasn't in the block, it couldn't retract again. So the needle was just blocking everything. But you figured it out eventually and got it running perfectly. The owner will be happy. For startup, set the lever straight out and don't mess with it until you have steady blue for about 10 sec. To make future startups as trouble free as possible, when you shut it down, go back the the 1/4 turn position on the main valve and leave it there until the flame leans out and changes color for a few seconds. This purges most of the liquid fuel from the generator and gives you more air for a better start next go round. Hope the hand is 100% by now. Keep up the good work.
