rapid burner doesnt work 829/500

  • before my rapid burner funtions fine but not anymore. i checked it, cleaned it, and even replaced it completely because there was a damage/flatspot on the piramid shaped cone on the rapid body. but the new rapid burner also doesnt work. the petroleum vapor comes out and it burns aslong as i keep the lighter on. when i remove the lighter the burner goes out, i tryd differend preseures and new petroleum, searched the forum now im pretty despered because i love my petromax. in other words helpppp!!!


    grtz peter

  • hello peter,


    you have to make sure, that


    1. the fuel nozzle in the middle is free and
    2. the 2 - 4 air nozzles around are free too.


    please check that by stripping the rapid and hold part # 224 aginbst the light.



    only if the mixture air-fuel is correct, the rapid is able to work properly (besides the correct pressurw, which you have to check out).
