Job well done Craig. Glad you got the lantern running like new.

You make it look easy I have always been scared of them and never owned one Old ones you see in those flea market stores the want way too much money or they must have a valuable one

Nice Job Craig!! We use those at the lake all the time when I was a kid and haven't seen them since! Great emergency lights they would be!!

[@CraigArndt]

They are good fun and a great emergency light. Thanks Norman!

Good video. I have the same lantern. Storm season is here so great time to check your lanterns and stoves.

My only gripe is that Coleman made these 285 generators unserviceable. They sell for ~$20 a piece. They could at least lower the price for us.

If you burn Colmen fuel you do not have this problem . Gasoline has all kinds of additives which build up in the generator causing this problem . Never burn old gas that is the worst thing to do . Gas has a short life span compared to Colmen fuel . Yes gas will burn but what you do not know will hurt you as you have seen .

I only burn Crown or Coleman white gas. Haven’t burned gasoline in decades, never liked the smell.
