Let's clean up a Coleman 220K Lantern!

[@stonecutter2]

This was great, trying to get my father in law's old Coleman 220K going and this helped tremendously. Thank you! I think I need a new generator, the one in this lantern won't let the spring out or the white part...it's in there and won't move, which seems bad. I can't get it to light without a lot of effort, and when it has been lit, it just fades...and I just bought new fuel. This really helped me be confident about what to expect as I disassembled and reassembled!

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

@@stonecutter2 I’m glad it helped brother! Sounds like you need to take the generator apart. Let me check if I have a video on how to do it. All you need is a propane torch, pliers and water. Or you could buy a new one. Thanks for watching brother, I appreciate it!

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

@@stonecutter2 I can’t find my own video because the process is buried in one of the many videos! 😂 But here is a video explaining how to do it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJLKgpR9fbt6fMksi=tQ8O_zQ6LqP8LcQW

Lantern looks amazing. I'm loving these videos Dominic. Keep up the great work. Take care.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Thanks sister, I appreciate it! I’m sure having fun with them! I hope you have a wonderful day!

[@dthomas5281]

Well it looks really nice. Definitely works better with good fuel in it. Nice job brother. You’re getting to be a master technician on the Coleman lanterns. I was surprised how nice the paint came back. Between you and Ron there won’t be any lanterns left for everyone else. Lol. Guess I’ll have to collect oil lamps. Ha ha ha. 👍👍

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

I was surprised too! Ron definitely has me beat! I need to get on the ball! 😂😂😂 Thanks for watching brother, I appreciate it! I hope you have a wonderful day!

[@timburris3758]

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Thanks brother, I appreciate it! And you’re welcome! God bless and stay safe!

🇺🇸🙋‍♀️🐴👍🍃 Excellent clean up! I'm glad the new fuel worked great, cuz it would have suked if you had to take apart the valve again! I kinda don't mind the long vids, cuz it's like a rest or a break from all the social media news.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

I’m glad too! I hear you on longer videos and I appreciate that! But I think going forward I’ll try to keep them a tad shorter since these full length ones have been published! Thanks for watching sister, I appreciate it!

[@aksalaman4689]

The Guru of Coleman Lanterns on KZbin strikes again! I wonder how much the tanks need cleaning and refilling right from the start.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Probably a lot! 😂😂😂 I’ve been hesitant to take all the valves down because of the packing. But from now on, they get taken apart if they have any age to them. I just need to get the correct graphite packing. Each one I do, I learn from it! Thanks for watching brother, I appreciate it!

[@bravowhiskey88]

Just picked up 2 lanterns yesterday. I have an ultra sonic cleaner going to drop the parts in there see how it goes!

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

That should work out awesome! Let me know! And thanks for watching brother, I appreciate it!

[@rontsawyer362]

That turned out nice .just a little tweaking . I am messing with a 500 stove that is not being nice at all

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Seems most of them need tweaking! Good luck on the 500 brother! I can feel your pain! 😂😂😂

[@doinsngoins]

Thats a Beauty DOM 😊

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Thanks brother, I appreciate it! I hope you’re having a wonderful day!

Epic video man love the content

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

You’re welcome and thanks for watching brother, I appreciate it!

[@rontsawyer362]

Almost it's a long one

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

It is!

[@cabotbluegill]

what is your thoughts on rust be gone on the inside of a tank then of course fuel proof paint afterwords

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

I never used it. I have used vinegar and salt and Evapo-Rust with BBs. both worked well. After using either or, rinsed with hot water, blown out with compressed air then filled with denatured alcohol and emptied. And more compressed air!

[@chrslefty]

This is an older video but.. I noticed that you didn't remove the generator cleaner crank/handel. I was working on mine 220k, but i couldn't figure out how to remove it without breaking it. Any tips? Thanks for sharing your video.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

It has packing in it. I never remove them unless there is a problem. That being said, before I remove one, I buy new packing because chances are you’re going to need it. Then I put the tip cleaner in my vice with aluminum or brass jaws and after loosing the nut pull it out. You may need some heat from a propane torch. I hope that helps.

[@chrslefty]

@Dominic.Minischetti thanks i wasn't sure how it came .

[@timburris3758]

I Recommend That You Light Your Lantern Without The Mantles And Make Sure It Works Right First Before Installing Mantles!

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Thanks for the tip brother, I appreciate it!

[@aikidragonpiper71]

I just bought the same model of lantern off Facebook marketplace. He said it works. But I'll find out. But I only paid $25 for it.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Very cool brother! If you need any parts, let me know!

[@aikidragonpiper71]

​@DomMini He said it uses Kerosene. Is that what the K on 220K stands for. Are they as bright as the normal gas lamps. We had Kerosene wick lamps at home for power outages. But my Dad always had a Coleman lantern or two for camping.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

@aikidragonpiper71 I’m pretty sure it uses white gas. All of mine 220Ks do, and I have quite a few. The K is just a model number.

[@aikidragonpiper71]

@DomMini Will it say somewhere on the lantern about the fuel?

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

@@aikidragonpiper71 It says kerosene on the Coleman decal on the front.

[@jimthomas1989]

Colman asked Dominic to stop repairing these lamps , sales have fallen off

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

😂😂😂😂

[@becca318]

He's too good at it! 🤣👍

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

@@becca318 😂😂😂

[@PREPFORIT]

Very cool ...I mean Clean ! I have a few similar Coleman Lanterns that are just for show but could be restored. 👍 BTw On my next comment, I am going to write " I'm In" just to mess with people's heads.! ☺

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

😂 I love doing that also! Makes people go back and watch the video again! 😂 Thanks for watching brother, I appreciate it!

[@rontsawyer362]

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Great tip! Thanks! And thanks for watching brother, I appreciate it! I hope you have a wonderful day!

[@cabotbluegill]

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

I know it’s long! That’s so cool you still have that lantern brother! 👍🏻
