Guys, HELP, fitted a new genny to my ageing sportster, now goes like a b*****d, but one problem, fully open is fine but try turning it down and it just slowly goes out.
It will not burn for any time on anything other than full bore, any suggestions?

colemans are never good at lower heat settings. they may splutter a bit, or as yours does, be either full on or off.

When I withdraw the pump with finger over hole, the pressure decreases (flame dies),does this suggest the tank valve is leaking? If so is this repairable?
Update, think I have fixed this by removing inner stem placing oil around the thread to form better seal/gasket.
Fingers crossed

Help! Iv recently fitted a new generator and pump kit to my coleman. I tried cleaning the old one because it was burning with a yellow flame. Problem now is it isnt burning as hot or powerful as it used to. Any ideas anyone?? Thanks.

The best thing for cleaning out generators is to leave it soaking in coca cola overnight, and then see how much c--p comes out have done it once a season for about 8years and still on origianal genny.

HAving trouble keeping pressure with feathlight stove, Got a new genny on it, plus changed rubber pump washer to a leathrer version.
Do the following.
Pump 25-30 times.
Ignite
Pump 25-30 times.
Looses pressure after a minute. Don't want to keep re-pressuring every, any ideas what's wrong.
By way run on coleman fuel.

it might be the rubber seal on the fuel filler cap has perished. try swapping the cover with a mate and try that. . maybe some ptfe tape on the thread might effect a temporary repair as a tester.
