Coleman Camp Stove

I have a dual fuel (Kenmore) Coleman 2 burner camp stove and no lighting instructions! "I get a great flame burner before but nothing on the burner, how do you light one of these things without burning the site! HELP!

IMV, Coleman is still a society very focused customer service, compared to others. They continue to support all their products, regardless updated.

is a link to a gas stove old school. I do not know about unleaded fuel. I just purchased and used Coleman fuel in my stove unleaded fuel.

My experience ... Fuel must be fresh and for the love of God, do not spill! Pour the fuel in a totally different place than where you use it and away from our vehicles. lol trust me.

There must be a lot of pressure in the generator to the burner. Keep your finger over the hole until you have tightened the screw pump. follow the instructions exactly, and it works perfectly.

Make sure the connections are tight before attempting to light it again. You can also check the burner area, the spiders love the small area there. Pump up the tank, a match, ask the UN to the burner, turn the burner knob. If this does not work, then you can have a defective product.

I have a couple of old Coleman stoves from the 50s, which require pumping before lighting. If your pump does not work, you generally can take a replacement with a rubber tip at the Wal-Mart or hardware for a couple dollars. I tried to oil the leather on the old pumps but it does not work for long.

With the flip closed, the pump working a dozen times, then remove the tank and open the valve outside away from open flames. If the gas flow on the end then you have pumped enough.

Then you must start the burner. With the tank off, I aim the nozzle in the burner and spray a little gas directly on the burner. (No more than a tablespoon.) You are now ready to put in the tank, open it with some wire up lighting, and a burner flame.

As the burner heats, I think I need to pump the tank several times in order not to leave. This requires that you hold your thumb over the hole in the pump and screw on the pump and at the same time, then screw it back with your thumb over the hole again.

Once everything is hot, the yellow flame will turn blue. Then you can turn the small wire down to cooking and are ready to cook. If the flame goes down, more pumping may be required during cooking.

Rember to turn the handle until the little red light and after about one minute to cook.
