HK/CP 150 Lighting Problem

    Hi Just purchases a 150 and I'm having serious trouble getting the mantel to light properly.


    I can't get a white light. I have used both methods to light the mantel but get the same result. The best I get is a hallo of flame around the mantel. The matel has also gone black with carbon. I have adjusted the gap between the jet and the mixing shaft to 6mm (can't adjust any further to required 7mm).


    What am I doing wrong? HELP

    Hello Martin,


    first at all, :welcome: here


    Hm, you got yourself a lantern which is often called similar to the nicest looking woman you do not want to be married with :naughty:


    But it is not that worse - I think, you are using the original mantles?
    Those are causing problems, as they become too small while sinthering.


    Try to get some Coleman #21 mantles to tie on (not those with wireclip)
    they do not like the Rapid-start, but they work perfekt in a 150CP and bring much more light :done:


    Good luck, Björn

    Thanks again.
