I have a little tip if you havent tried or heard off for the colman 533 petrol stove
A freind of mine doubled up the burner rings and now it runs like a dream i can turn it up or right down and cook perfect every time mine is brand new and it wouldnt ever turn down low so a mate of mine added more plates just under the generator and it runs like a dream.
Think they cost me a £10 but worth every penny
Hope that might help some one out good luck ... Easy to do as well

never heard of this before, Simon. might give it a try when i next have a stove in bits...
interseting idea.
how many extra burner rings did your mate add, and did he have to change the screw [the one in the centre that retains the burner rings] for a longer one.

That kinda ties into what the guy says in the further reading link.
Maybe the extra heat is conducive to a better fuel vapourising leaving less in the genny?
I have a few spares, once I get the genny unblocked I will give it a go.
From the link:-
First, heat was suggested by a friend. This could be a goer, I remember my dad heating up his motorcycle exhaust with a blow lamp or oxyacetylene to clear the carbon blocking the flow of gases.
First I tried placing it on a domestic gas cooker ring. This successfully heated the generator to a red glow, but no difference in the flow of fuel was achieved. Next I tried a gas blow lamp, this time the generator was glowing a brighter red. Unfortunately I went a little too far with this method and burnt some small holes in the brass tubing. I was able to recover some ash from the generator, presumably from the burnt carbon deposits I was attempting to remove, and the fuel now flowed freely - albeit exiting from the new holes! so with more care this may well work.

i had read that bit from the link. i think he's actually refering to knackering his genny by burning through the outer and burning extra holes for the fuel to flow out better [irony?]

But I think that the idea was to burn off the deposits in the genny, the result was worst case.
Makes sense though, the better your fuel is vopourised then surely less is left behind to turn to gunk, or is that just crap from the fuel/container.

some will be crap from in the fuel or container, and the rest of the sooting in the genny will be fuel that is left in there from when the stove is turned off, and a trickle of fuel is still flowing. you must have seen some that almost refuse to turn off! the heat will dissipate from the genny,but some fuel will collection the genny, hence the yellow flame on turn off. fuel is being burnt, but heat and the extra air is no longer present. the is almost certainly what is coking up the genny. its just like a carburettor on a car that is running with a poor fuel/air mix.

Im still running gas as i bought a bulk lot of gas so i dont use my colman a lot only winter just putting it away thought i would fire it up runs like a dream i can turn the flame down well below the bit the pan sit on
When my gas runs out colman for me i can finaly cook on it you be surprised how low the flame will go
I only replaced the wrinkley bits and sorry yes still used the same top screw
Hope i have helped a few out ..simon
Just checked mine running again the flame is just above the last plate where your screw is
Atleast the sitting room is warm now

Got a problem with my Coleman. Seems like there is a problem with the pump as i can't generate any pressure no matter how much it is pumped. The pump feels very 'loose' when pumping and you don't have to apply any pressure when pumping it.
Any ideas? It is a case of buying the pump repair kit and replacing as necessary?
