It's a long time since I did it but I remember the filter is really small and just looks like a solid bit of metal, only about 5mil across if that. When you clean it you will see it is, hard to describe but like a cross section of multicore cable, the only thing I can find that resembles it is the ‘conductor' part of this image, but really tiny.
See if that helps at all

So you just gave the 'wire' filter a scrape to clean off any carbon?
Just read back and copied this from your post #5
I'm actually on the bank at the mo but with the aid of some crimping pliers, a spoon and a hook sharpening file I seem to have got it going again. Managed to fathom out how to dismantle it and I found the tiny metal filter on the back of the jet was covered in carbon. Filed it all off and it seems a lot better now

In a word, yes.

Cheers, do you remember roughly whereabouts it is? I got down to having it all in bits but couldn't see it?

Not from memory sorry, I just know it's in there somewhere before the output jet, probably actually part of it

Cheers, I'll take a closer look once at home. Doing it under headtorch light in the back of the van was not ideal!!

Update; had another look and only found a wire which just looks like a mini steel cable. You can access it without taking the stove apart. There's a screw on the bottom of the brassy looking attachment where the gas comes in. Unscrew it and pull the wire out. I cleaned mine with a scrubber pad to get the carbon off. Working okay at the moment now. Hope it lasts!

Sorry to hijack the thread but has anyone attempted to extend the gas pipe? Aliexpress, where I get all my Bulins from, do generic extensions...
That's my only one, very minor criticism of the Bulin stove, is that gas pipe is just a bit too short for me!

Hi guys,
I've got the extension with a new regulator which removes easily but what are the joints called and where can I get them in the UK?
Pictured here, circled on red. The brassy bit. This.
Thanks.

I may do a how-to vid on cleaning them...
heres my 2 pennies worth...
Bulin T4 stoves are SH*T!
found these threads as looking for Bulin spare parts.
PAID £30 my Bulin T4 is 3 yrs old - used about 20 times per summer
its packed up. I'm an engineer by trade and have taken it apart and will say Bulin is absolute crap!
i've cleaned it, the jet was blocked and burner internal wire corroded, got it going again, however I doubt if it will last a season out.
guy on YT recommends chickland one only £8.00 ebay ...now gone up to 9.99 sent to ya door from UK, Power: 3500W & Igniter ...he says 2 years and hes had NO probs.
IMO, far better to buy a couple or more of cheapo's - then you may get the price down p/stove to £7 !!
...its ironic what crap they make today, as i still have my original old BRIT 1980 camping gas stove that takes the blue canisters, and its been used for donkeys of years still works fine, only prob is the canisters are EXPENSIVE if ya can even find them!

They really arent. They may not be the best build quality, but they are widely regarded as a good stove by most on here. I bought a cheapy eBay thing for less than a tenner and it lasted a couple of months before falling apart, so back to my old bulin which I've had for around 10 years now and it's still going strong . Hardly call that ****

I think you've been unlucky mate. They're well regarded, I think mine is 6 or 7 years old now. Still works ok. These are ultimately cheapo tat from China, but one of the better examples of cheapo tat

Mines been used and abused for 5-6 years even left out in the rain, never missed a beat

yep seems I've just been unlucky, i remember when i bought it was supposed to be made in Germany?
BUT...i do get bitter & twisted and MOAN on the quality of what's made today, just look at bivvy/brolly systems, i could design a BETTER quality product for what these RIP-OFF tackle-barons charge and it would be FAR SUPERIOR AND LAST 20 YEARS!
BTW, I'm going to post this in both 2 threads LOL!

Mr A Hamidi is looking for engineers, cad designers etc.. for his new start up company you should message him talking in his recent interview he was saying something along the lines of a monetary return .
