My 533 is about 19 years old now. Got it out the other day as I wanted to use it as gas can be a pain at this time of year, noticed fuel leaking from the on/off valve. So, replaced that and it's running like new again. Over the last couple of years I have replaced the genny, then the pump and now the valve. So it's pretty much like Trigger's Broom.
Best place for spares is seller mcscott2005 on Ebay

Original camping Gaz stove,35 Years old, no problems no maintenance. Nuff said.
Just don't be in a rush for a brew from me when the gas is running low.

What are you running it on...?
If petrol get a drop of redex in it and see if that cures the problem...

Guys I recently purchased a Coleman 533 stove in America and upon returning I filled it up (might have put a little too much in) and pumped it up then lit it and it was perfect
Went fishing the next day and used it in the evening and again it was fine then the next morning went to make my breakfast so pumped it then it lit but was weak so pumped it up as your supposed to and it just slowly died and I found the fuel tank was covered in fuel.Just had a look at it a week later to determine the leak location so pumped it up and it held pressure fine no leaks then when opening the valve I could hear the fuel coming out somewhere beneath the top.The fuel is exiting the stove beneath the top where it's supposed to so it does not ignite at all it just seeps out any ideas what's wrong and how to fix it?before i tried finding the leak tonight I emptied half the fuel so it's no longer overfilled if it was.

Edit: I took mine apart today and couldn't see any obvious leaks so re constructed it and it seems to be ok now!

Realise that it's an old post but just in case others have this problem then I had the same.
I fixed it by taking off the fuel cap and putting on a thin rubber washer then tightening the fuel cap back up to the washer.
I think that by doing this then the air that I'm pumping into it isn't escaping out of the fuel cap.
Seems to be pumping and working fine now.
Edit - Great thread by the way.

Hi all.
Just bought myself a Coleman feather off of good old eBay and cannot it to work for the life of me. From reading through here it sounds like it could be he generator that's blocked. It pumps up ok (found that out by opening the fuel cap while pressurised and covering myself in fuel), but when opening the valve only a tiny bit of fuel comes through... Enough to light it but only for a matter of seconds before it fizzles out. The second bout of pumps have no effect. Does that sound like the genny to you's in the know?
Unfortunately it doesn't end there... Fuel now seems to be leaking from somewhere around the Burner itself. Checked the seemingly common areas (pump and fuel cap) and it's definitely not them. This has resulted in a couple of fireballs and a right panic trying to extinguish the ******* with my feet before it erupts.

Yes, sounds like the genny is blocked. This situation is scary with unleaded fuel
p*ssing all over the place, at least with the colemans pure fuel you can shake the flames out if it gets on your hands, etc.
I know the tackle box do service Coleman stoves, I had some joker put sugar in my tank on Darenth, years ago.
Be careful with it

hi tom, had a similar issue last year on a coleman sportster stove basically there was hardly any fuel getting through and the generator was blocked, I got a replacement generator of ebay I think? cost was around £20.00
it was easy to fit the new generator myself and sorted the issue for me,however this was the only issue mine didn't leak from burner?
