The "naked" lamp -- just the frame and the tubes, without the glass or the hood -- is now closed when I put pressure on it and dip it in a bucket of water.
When I open the vaporizer-foot-valve by turning the handwheel, with the vaporizer / carburator not preheated, a fine "beam" of liquid petroleum sprays out nozzle nr. 50. Closing the valve also closes down the stream of liquid.
However -- I've not been able to screw the needle on the rod, for some reason it does not seem to fit?
I've put some aceton in the tank which came out brown, so I guess the inside of my tank is covered with muck and it would need cleaning.
If I strip all the tubes, could I fill it up with aceton and leave it overnight? Would this damage the pump valve? Are there rubber / plastic parts in there? I've not been able to loosen this or take it out, and it looks properly closed so if I don't have to I would rather not open it.
How would I clean the inside of the rapid / flamethrower tube?
Is it possible to take the filter off, or to disconnect the tube from the nozzle?
