Nice job restoring that stove. I found one on a scrap pile I dumped the old fuel out and put new fuel in then I oiled the pump and it runs like new

i like running them on propane converters

Great job Little! Gonna hit a thrift store next week :)

Could not help but stop and watch this one, love these and you did such an awesome restoration, great job, you should be proud👍

On the puzzle master website, they say it is level 6…

What spray paints did you use?

Good work

Again shitty agravating noise.I`m gone!

Nice job!

Well done!

Nice job of hiding all of that old rust under a new coat of paint.

All I did was shake it like crazy to open it

Looks really good

I just found one in the garbage aout in the same shape. Thank you for inspiring me.

No! No! not red-use heat resistant silver on the pate that hold the burners as well the burner assembly. But It's yours to customizes as you want, until the red paint starts to peel.

How did you reattach the grate on the side that broke during removal?

Nice job! Looks great! If you turn the lighting lever up (and leave it there) when you light it, the valve opens at the top of the Fuel-Air stem which allows the fuel vapors from the fuel tank to travel through the generator and into the burner, which after lighting heats up the generator and should prevent a lot of the sooty yellow flame because the fuel to air ratio is more balanced for efficient burning. If you have the lighting lever down or move it down at all during heating up, the upper vent is closed and the lower vent is open allowing liquid fuel to travel to the burner, which will produce a sooty yellow flame because the fuel to air ratio is too high until the generator is hot enough to vaporize the liquid fuel. No need for the "alcohol hack," which requires another fuel to bring with you. If you have the lighting lever up and you're not getting enough flame, turn the valve off and the lever down to pump more pressure into the tank. Then try the lighting process again. If the stove is really old or not well maintained, the generator might need cleaning or replacing because it might be preventing fuel from traveling through it. This happened to me with a used stove I bought - never quite burned cleanly, heated up slowly, and never seemed to burn at full heat. Took apart the generator to find it mostly clogged with rust & build-up and with a broken heating coil. Replaced it and the stove worked so well afterwards.

good video! I'm going to redo my stove now

CL, i thank you for the tutorial vid that has at long last helped me solve that vortex SOB of a puzzle. Your method seems to take longer (several days for me to twig it), but is surely much easier to follow; though i must say the above vid sorely needs editing to make it run more smoothly to the learners/viewers. With gratitude, Lester K

The first time I got this puzzle I completed it within a half an hour putting it back together took a little bit longer

I called up your vid because I'm restoring my grandparent's 50+ year old 3-burner Coleman stove. I've never even seen a 3-burner stove before. Anyway, my main issue was big dents in the frame. Now that I see how easy it is to remove all the "guts" I'm going to do that and use autobody techniques to bump out the dents and straiten everything up. I'm already about 80% there. I expected the pump not to work, and it doesn't. I ordered replacement parts for that. I think I'll take the burners apart and give them a bath in the ultrasonic cleaner. The old lead-based paint on the housing has really stood up well to all the abuse that this guy got over the decades. I'll re-evaluate if I need to re-paint or not after I get the stove running. Also, Evaporust (or vinegar) for the mildly rusted spots.

Good video! I have the same 2 burner coleman from a garage sale. $5. Needs some TLC and paint and then will be my secondary camp stove. Purchased a new $20 "Generator". Works like new.

I just picked up one off of Etsy it’s never been used “crazy “ I’m going to be using it Mr Coleman made to use and enjoy! You did a great job on restoring your stove it will last you along time!

Good job, I picked one up today as a matter of fact. Not as rough as the one you have but definitely needs some TLC.

Hello why is my peanut brittle ain't brittle it was chewy

Been using one of these for 50 years, good restore.

I just acquired one recently through a neighbor and can’t wait to restore it and see if it works! Have you found the paint to last over time? Wasn’t sure if I should get high heat paint or not. Great video!

I just bought 5 stoves 421A,421B 431x2and a 425 I figured i would get at least one working and found out they all work! So I am keeping the 431 for my car camping and selling the others but I also sanded, primed , and painted them so they look far better than what is available on Facebook or craigslist. People are trying to sell grotty looking stoves for big bucks!

You can also add oatmeal to it and make yourself some trail brittle

Nice job, it looks great! I refurb old Coleman stoves and lanterns as well. Look on the bottom and you should be able to find a mfgr date! (month & year)

Great job. You went from unranked amateur to pro in one restoration.

in a grid down you will happy to have it . i ve had mind for thirty years .and it works.thay are bomb proof .with a regular service

Old coleman stoves are so cool.

Just found one in the garbage. Appreciate the video! Gave me some inspiration for restoring it!

Excellent work man!

You did a real fine job! I need to find the leather cap replacement for my 425 Coleman.

The next go around, try a 150 grit sand on everything this to be painted and primed.. Thereafter, paint and tape 2 coats. The final step, Glamore 2k to give it the auto grade toughness...maybe in satin or high gloss?

what colors did you use to paint it?

Great job! Found you while trying to remove the burner on a Coleman Propane Grill Stove. Its new but jas sat for 20 years and one knob will not turn..even using WD40 and pliers. Trying to learn..got a stove like you restored so now of any problems with it..will rewatch your clip! Thanks

Nice job!

My pump works but can't get gas to come out at the stove even with the valves set like you have them. Any tips? Maybe burner plumbing is trashed?

you didn't show us how you removed that first section.

Great job!!

Thanks for sharing this mate.Nice to see someone restoring and preserving anything historic.She looks like she just came off the shelf.I love it!

While your restoration is cosmetically very good, there are a few problems number one you don't want to use a course wire wheel when cleaning the paint. A finer side angle wheel on a grinder would have been much better. And be extremely careful on the tank preferably using a brass wheel you can knock microscopic pin holes through the metal, that will then be covered over by the paint and will seal for a short period of time eventually they will seep gasoline the amounts may be so small that you can't see them but nonetheless be flammable. I know because I've done this. Also you need to remove the valve from the top of the tank and clean out the fuel air tube and the generator assembly that runs to the burner, when you open the second burner the main flame dropped way down to almost out, that shows that the stove is not getting enough fuel. Also you don't want to use gasoline ever in a Coleman stove only Coleman fluid, or camp stove or Camp gas. Never gasoline from a gas station or anything is designed for an internal combustion engine. No matter how clean you think it is. Remember you're going to cook food over that anything that is combusted in that flame will be carried up in the column of heat around the pan and when cooled fall back into your food. Several people have been made very ill burning gasoline in a Coleman stove, due to the fuel additives being atomized and absorbing into their food. When in general you did a good job on it, just a few technical problems. One more thing check the gasket on that fuel cap. If it's at all questionable and not nice and pliable you should replace it that is a common point of leaks and fires

So with the pumps, the ones with the leather instead of the rubber are way better. The trick with either is to soak in in Neatsfoot oil for a little while, then reassemble. Your original pump may not have been bad, just needed to be oiled.

If you spread it it will be hard and thin

What was the paint colors called or the paint code? Remember?

To eliminate yellow flame, after a minute turn the starter valve down, then pump another 25 to 35 times. You'll get the hot blue flame all around. Congrats on a great job. Also look for a new instruction decal you can put on the back to remind you how to start up your stove. Great work. Thanks for sharing.

Nice work mister! I like bringing new life to old things.
