Lantern Help

[StumpJumper]

Took my coleman out last weekend and found no matter how much pressure i pumped into it it would do nothing but flame, I couldn't get a bright burn going inside the (new) mantles.

Are you able to take them apart and clean the fuel lines or should i just buy a new one?

[Tat2sob]

I would dis-assemble the upper half, clean everything up, and replace the generator. Hopefully that will take care of your problem.

stump, you might want to PM ozgood2001 about this. he has another thread going about fixing old ones. he helped me with my old one also. good luck. (it's on the buy sell thread)

Stumpy,

they are definitely servicable. I know they can be taken apart and cleaned or repaired. I know that ozzgood2001 from the site has been fixing them. He would probably know what's wrong. I'm sure he'll see this and respond.

Good luck

ozzgood2001 is out of town until the end of the week. He's your man though....and he's got a corner on the market for old lantern parts I hear!

[WALLEYE MIKE]

Generators are available at K-marts, wal-marts and Meijers. Betcha thats your problem.

My SportsAuthority (Dearborn) has had every conceivable Coleman lantern part I have ever needed.

Last year I went fishing with OZZGOOD2001 and MSUICEMAN. Well I fired upthe new Coleman Northstar and it started to whistle real loud . I just about had an accident not to be grose about it . It scared the heck out of MSUICEMAN too. OzZGood was in his shanty and said ''Is that thing going to blast off like a rocket? Needless to say I shut down " Ole Whistler" and borrowed OZZY's propane gas lantern . Even two kids come running and asked what was wrong. Man I had alot of rassing to contend with after that. All in fun though. So like WalleyeMike said I went to K-Mart and replacer the generator and silenced "Ole Whistler'' . Like Paul Harvey Says '' And now thats the...Rest .. of ... the ...story.. good-day!

I cant find my Northstar and I had to go icefishing so I just bought a electronic double mantle off brand (Wales?) at Meijers. For 20 bucks it works like a champ.
