Hello to all of you in the forum!
I have recently become the owner of two older kerosine preasure lamps, and since I normally restore the newer models, I have a few questions for the forum.
The two models are: Optimus 300P and a Primus 1082 (I have attached an image sent to me from the woman who sold them to me)
I know they are both are 300 cp lamps, but I would like to know if it would be best to use CP250 spare parts or CP350 parts? The parts that are broken are the mixing tube on one, the nozzle on the other and both could need new needles. Regarding seals I will of course also change the ones needed.
(I am aware that changing to either 250 or 350 parts would require that I change some of the other non-broken parts for optimal function, but that will be done through trial-and-error testing since I - as a matter of principle - would like to maintain as many original parts as possible)
And I would also like to know what the correct distance between the mixing tube and the nipple containg the needle is in mm for these models, so I can get the correct mix of kerosine and air.
That is it for now.
Thanks
