Restauring Petromax 626, Optimus 300P & Primus 1082 - Updated 29/03 17:10

Hi Manfred

I have just measured the things you asked for:

1) The upper vaporizer #153 measures 129,5 mm not including the nipple (This measure is taken from the bottom of the screw when it is mounted to the lower vaporizer. I did not unmount it because i fittet it with muffler mender because is was a bit untight. Hope you can use the measure anyway - if not write again and I will unmount it)

2) The mixing tube has the following measurements: Inner diameter 13,8mm and outer diameter 16,8

I am currently making the threads on a new 500cp mixing tube higher because I want to mount it instead on this lantern. The reason I want to do so is because it keeps on burning too rich even wit a distance of 18mm above the nipple.

Are you having some of the same problems or..??

Kind regards

Casper Falden

Hi again Manfred

I will measure it next time it comes of. Furthermore I will keep my eyes open for parts that you can use and let you know if I find something.

As it is right now I am not sure if I will need the mixing tube that you asked me to measure - if I find out that I don't need it maybe you would be interested in the part?

We should all help eachother to get functioning lamps

Have a nice evening

Casper

Hi again

Waow. That is fantastic - I actually ony gave 13 Euros for it, so I guess that can be called a good deal.

By the way - could you tell if the hood was original?

Regards Casper
