It's got to be the fuel your running it off even though you've added redex,might be worth running some colemans fuel through it to clear it out......then take it from there......

i strippped it on the bank, and managed another brew on it but then it give up and so did i. i could run it on lighter fuel if i could get the dam thing to light. ill strip it down later when the kids are in bed. theres a peice of folded foam material under the burner that looked a bit crusty though so its probably this or the genny blocked.

I recently tried to get my old Coleman working again and after removing the needle and wire and cleaning the generator I got it going. Although I must add I didn`t try the boiling water/fairy liquid suggestion, rather WD40 and pressurised air.
Sputtery flame at first but then it started burning a treat. I let it burn off a full tank which also got rid of the heavy carbon deposits. I was well chuffed!
Went fishing, first morning tried to brew up but couldn`t get the thing going again. When pumping, fuel came out of the pump hole. Couldn`t get any pressure, or at least no hissing sound came out when turning the burner valve lever.
Where would be the first place to look? New pump washer? If so, how do I take it apart to get to it?

Just getting my stove out for the winter.
I've had it about 15 years or more ( was the DualFuel now called the Sportster 533) and apart from the first year when I ran it on Petrol, I've run it ever since of Coleman fuel and for the last 9 years or so on Aspen 4T so it's nice and clean.
During it's lifetime I've replaced the generator (after the initial petrol phase)and also replaced the origial pump washer with a leather upgrade mode, which is regularly oiled.
So, it runs perfectly, lovely blue flame. The problem that I have is the bottom part of the stove which houses the fuel tank is getting extremely hot. Now I understand the principle behind the generator heating up the pressurised fuel as it passes over the burner and that's fine as it has an outlet ie it burns in the bowl.
However the bottom beneath the burner is a different matter. It never used to get this hot. There is no fuel leaking from beneath the burner, in fact everything is as should be just the actual bottom part of the stove, the main body beneath the burner box assembly is far far hotter than is safe. The piece of heat retardant material is still in place between the burner box assembly and the main body/fuel tank.
When I go to turn it off like most other people I place my left hand on the shoulder of the bottom of the stove to steady it and turn off the red lever with my right hand, only now I need to wear a glove or wrap a thick rag on my left hand to steady the stove. As I said, far , far too hot for safety.
Anyone had this problem and know a fix?
