You are so right about the memories! Because of the sound, I can smell camping. I'm drinking hot cocoa sitting next to the fire while dad cooks breakfast
Thank you very much for the in-depth look at this stove. I have my brothers stove that he used maybe once or twice then it sat up unused for years. So I watched a few videos about refurbishing one but they never showed the disassembly of the gas valve and the generator tube. You really know what you're doing with these old stoves. When you fired up the burners and I heard them roaring it brought back many memories of me as a kid camping. Then you said the same thing yourself , how cool is that. Keep the videos coming they're great .
Good morning from south Alabama! Great stoves. I own several. Seems like no matter how long mine sit, they always pump up and fire right off!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for the tip on the nail polish for the tip. I had an air leak and the fuel just pumped into the chamer and leaked out, and then I applied a flame to the burner and a BIG FLAME OCCURED. I now have one of those fire blankets to throw over the unit to prevent a series fire damage under a tent. Experience is a quick trainer with these stoves.
Completely different subject, since leaving the rr, so you still keep up with news? Assuming that you do. As a result of how it happened, have you ever considered being a "scab"?
As a kid I always thought that stove was cool. Of course when I later purchased one for myself in he 80’s I ended up with the propane canister type. It doesn’t have that cool factor but it still works great. Good Memories...
Yeah… before we shipped all of our industry overseas. I’d rather pay a couple more dollars for something like this instead of sending the money to China. Only industry in the USA now is onlyfans… 😮
They are very cool stoves. So far I. The past six months I’ve found two 425E models. Both from 1979 and both found at either Goodwill and Value Village. The first one was brand new with the manual and cardboard pieces holding everything in place inside; I’ve never fired it up. The second one looks to be fired up probably once and still had fuel in it, and it actually still worked with that fuel! So I just use the second one and am keeping the unused condition specimen for backup.
VERY INFORMATIVE ... I WILL APPARENTLY NEED TO REPLACE THE PACKING IN THE MAIN CONTROL VALVE TO STOP A LEAK SINCE TIGHTENING THE NUT DIDN'T STOP THE LEAK... IT ALSO SEEMS TO LOOSE PRESSURE QUICKLY SO MAYBE THE CHECK VALVE NEEDS HELP.
Only ever seen one of those in my country, not sure what model, would love one as i have had lamps and peak stoves which are great gadgets. not sure why they never where a thing here - NZ
I have one sitting on my workbench right now and didn’t really have the skills to finish it so I think you just taught me enough to allow me to finish! I thought I had to replace the valve stem packing but I think it might just need some tightening so thanks for the tip. Also I’m not too mechanical so I’m not too familiar with all the tools… Could you explain why you use the channel locks instead of the crescent wrench? I have a pair of channel locks sitting on the bench and I’m not sure when to use them over a wrench. Thanks again for a great video!
Oh boy, i love watching these repairs. I only have a Brinkmann two burner gas stove from Academy Sports.. But i will get one of these Coleman dual fuel or older models for keepsake. Its like the good ole times taking care of stuff to make them work efficiently.. I probably get one thats a Model 525E bec i was born in the 60s. Just to have a connection of that time period. By the way, in the case of using a graphite packing rope to repair a leak , whats the recommend brand? What size? I see theres one at Home depot and Ace Hardware thats Danco brand 3/32 inch width x 24 inch long selling for $4 for faucet repair. I m not sure if that will suffice ?
Although you don't seem to be responding to theses messages. Thanks for the video. I have a 425e also. If any who else is looking at this the pump that holds the leather cup unscrews . Dont be a idiot like myself and try to pull it apart Hopefully its still gonna work.
Waiting for my check valve tool is killing me. I've got a 425E that I'm rebuilding for my brother-in-law. I'm hoping I can clean up the valve, and it'll work. My personal 425 is giving me some kickback while pumping too. So I could justify the tool purchase price.
Just bought a 425E at auction for $2. Exterior rust in spots and could use a good coat of paint. What paint and color do you recommend? I too, grew up family camping in Colorado in the 70s and smiled when you mentioned pancakes, eggs, bacon cooking on the Coleman. Great video, thanks.
I can't get he tip of my generator tube off. I've tried a bench vise (it still spins) and superzilla to loosen the threads, and a socket wrench, but no matter how much strength I use, the tip will NOT come off. I think the previous owner must have used nail polish on the threads.
I just refurbed mine. It was made Aug 1967, (same year my son arrived). Still works great. Got some valuable tips from your video........Thank you!
I just scored 4 of these stoves for $80. Gonna clean them up and give them to my local Scout unit. Thanks for the vid.
Just going thru mom's estate and found this stove and will follow your video to get it cleaned and going again. Thanks for posting this video.

Good description of a how the store works and how to clean it up. I appreciate your every day North American accent

Merci beaucoup pour ce partage très précieux, gratitude pour votre générosité.❤❤❤❤
Great video. I have a 425D. It still runs great! Can you believe I only paid $5 at a yard sale.
Your knowledge just shines in these videos. And your love for these stoves. You rock Skeet

Excellent video! Thanks for the tip on dating the older stoves. I was able to date two of my older ones - a 1/65 425D and a 4/71 425E
Good job cleaning up this stove!
Very good review and training for us all. Excellent video. Thank you
Very cool. Thank you for the help!
Great job as always my friend. Always a pleasure. Love and blessings!

Coleman used to build stuff that lasted a long time
Yeah… before we shipped all of our industry overseas. I’d rather pay a couple more dollars for something like this instead of sending the money to China. Only industry in the USA now is onlyfans… 😮
They still make that exact same stove today right here in Kansas, still tough as ever.

Where does one get the check valve tool?
I was persuaded into restoring one today. Russsty case.. base camp stove. Will it burn on rubbing alcohol?.. hmmm
What is the name of the check valve tool your using, price, where can you buy it? Thanks 😀
Great video. I got a 425 (gold tank). It seams to lose pressure. I have to pump it every 5 mi minutes. Any suggestions? Thank you

what if lighting lever does not turn all the way around? it is getting caught on the tank.
Is it up or down?
I can turn it up but it will not turn all the way down and cannot rotate it 360.
What if burner does not stay lit
#1 👍
Where did you get the check valve removal tool and what brand is it?
420 good time
When you say low octane fuel, does that mean 85 octane?
Instead of nail polish why not use anti seize? It will seal any air leaks you're concerned about and next time you take it apart will be easier.
26:44 try to buy ethanol free gasoline
16 tenth’s
You can convert to propane for $25
