Coleman Stove Model 425 Teardown Maintenance Rebuild and Leak Repair
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ส.ค. 2024
- Today we have a Coleman stove model 425 Series E For teardown, cleaning, maintenance, and rebuild. Also, the fuel valve is leaking and will need to be addressed. The fuel tank was not only disassembled and cleaned but also powder coated due to the poor state of the paint. The whole fuel valve is disassembled as the packing is also to be replaced. The packing was purchased at oldcolemanparts. This model uses the small valve stem packing

It is rare to find someone who has the mind of an engineer, skill with a camera, and great command of clear, precise, English. This would have been enjoyable even if I did not own such a stove (and an old, single-mantle lantern, that still works great after forty years). Thank you!
You're welcome.
That is so funny, you said single mantle lantern. I was at a flea market a day before a storm was to hit here in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada where I purchased a 23-year-old Coleman 286 that has never been out of the bow, styrofoam still around the glass, and a 425 Coleman stove that has never been turned on, but I was worried about dried up seals, leathers, etc., and here I am, making sure I don't burn the house down by lighting them up without educating myself first.
I only hope that it is not too hard to find that valve seal for the gas valve on the 425. I assume all the seals on both units here are dried up and dangerous.
@@retrotechandelectronicsPays you a really nice detailed compliment and your dumbnavyass says….you’re welcome⁉️⁉️⁉️
Well said. That’s what I’d like to comment.
Totally the BEST how-to video I have ever seen on TH-cam. No waisted monolog, great tips, every detail covered, good camera work, editing and audio. Thank you!
Ditto on all the positive comments. I thought I was Mr. Fix It. Top notch!
Excellent video. Just bought a 45 year old stove like this . Glad there is people like yourself that makes these videos
Thanks 👍
A no nonsense, straight forward instructional. Great camera positioning. Well done sir.
My wife calls it an overabundance of tripods and gimbals for all occasions
I have an old Coleman stove that I would like to disassemble and clean up so I have watched at least a dozen videos over the last few days. Without a doubt, this is the most informative "how to" video I have found. Thanks for being so thorough & clear in explaining the parts, clean up & repair process, and proper storage.
Glad to help
@@retrotechandelectronics Yes, I agree. I had one tech who really wasn't clean and I screwed up the fuel tank, then another guy make it more clear. This guy is very clear and explain things well.
They are not too hard to work on…. Take pictures of disassembly but not complicated…. Fixed mine it took two weeks for fuel tube to get here but it has not given me problems in over two years
Yes, I really learned from this video. Such careful, precise work. The quality of photography, just everything came together. You are definitely gifted, thank you!
Fixed my leaky '84 single fuel, worked like a charm. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
The best how to video I've ever seen on TH-cam on any subject. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
This was fantastic. It is the most comprehensive yet understandable disassembly and reassembly I think I have ever watched.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I’m in the midst of tearing down and rebuilding a Coleman 413F stove . Your video ( I’ve watched numerous ) is by far the BEST !! I can now continue with the rebuild with a lot more confidence!👍👍 Thanks .
This is by far the best how to video I’ve seen on TH-cam on anything ever! Thank you very much for taking the time to do such an amazing job at explaining, showing and demonstrating the process
Wow... thanks.
My grandfather recently passed away and he had one of these in storage. I took it thinking it was a propane stove and almost took it to the scrap yard thinking it was a piece of crap before I did some research on how it works. I thought it was the coolest thing. When I got home from work, I took it outside and with the old fuel inside and it being in storage for who knows how long it lit right up and worked perfectly. It's the 425B so I believe it's at least 60 years old. Can't want to pull it apart and get it cleaned up. Your video will definitely help. Thank you
Enjoy it!
Absolutely great job! Coleman should hire you to do their repair videos. :)
So great to see & hear a lucid, logical, eloquent disertation. Well done! These are great SHTF stoves. Everyone should aquire one for camping, winter storm power outages.
Thank you kindly!
I have one that is over 50 years old and has never been maintained, and after hurricane Ida I brought it out and it burned great one gasoline. I used the same stove for 5 months on the road in 1999. One of the most elegant engineering designs I have ever seen!
I would have used a scotchbrite pad and Dawn dish detergent and water to clean the parts. Then, reassemble the stove back together. Your video helped me fix my Colman 425.
If you don’t already publish instructional videos for a living, you definitely could. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a clearer explanation of steps involved on any subject matter. Well done.
I hear that alot.... Thats not my actual profession though.
Fantastic in-depth video on the proper maintenance of these old stoves.
Thank you for helping people keep these things going. The modern day Coleman products are no-where near as good as this era.
Glad to help

I have an older model version of this stove, probably an A or B version, ( none of the seams are rounded) which I found in the trash about 40 years ago. So it's somewhere close to 60 years old or better. At that time it was rough, but only needed a new fuel cap and generator innards. I have always wanted to rebuild the old girl, and now I have the process to do it. Thanks for a fine instructional video. Rust removal may be problematic though.
These old stoves are rock solid and should be part of everyone's preparedness kit. I have a propane Colman, never used it in 22 years, still in its box. I'll go to the old tried and true "White gas" version every time. ;-)
It's very apparent you know what the hell you're talking about. Definitely not a rookie. Very well described. No BS. Excellent. Thanks!
I’m glad that you found it helpful.
When i got my 1st coleman stove a few yrs ago i watched many videos to learn all i could about them.
I occasionally watch some now as a refresher.
I have to say this video is the most thorough one ive seen of all. Thank u.
One tip--i use very fine steel wool to wipe down the needles, tubes and brass prts. and then spray down with a cleaner.
Glad to hear it helped.
Your the first person that did it the right way . Powder coating thumbs up 👍 .
More to come.....
You video was EXCELLENT!!! Even a 74 year old woman could do it after watching you. Appreciate it
Glad it was helpful!
Yes, that's me! I'm a senior but love camping and the assorted cooking gear. So much fun!
Very nice video with concise easy to understand commentary.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Excellent video demonstration...I inherited 2 of these from my late father in law, been sitting for at least 6 years. Been scared to mess with them, but after this I'm comfortable with getting them back into usable condition. Thank you for excellent demo on complete teardown
I have watched other videos on cleaning these stoves. Your video is the most comprehensive and thorough demonstration of the complete tear-down, cleaning, and reassembly of the Coleman stove. Your video is a confidence booster.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Sir! I’ve got a 425C that I’ve got to rebuild. Now I understand the process.
Glad to help
Just picked up the same stove at a flee market . New in the box , never used . Got it for 20 bucks .
Such an excellent video! It should win a prize for quality.
Glad you think so!
Such a fantastic video sir! In depth knowledge of every element, presented perfectly with no wasted time. Very much appreciate you taking the time to make such a detailed video. It really helped me. One of the best tutorial videos I've watched 🙂 Best of luck
Thank you.
Thanks I have my Grandfathers old 425B I plan on restoring. This is going to be on repeat in my garage for sure.
Excellent video, I mean excellent. I'm in PSL, FL. Every few years I have to bring it out for a hurricane. My great aunt bought mine for me for my 16th birthday, 49 years ago.
I subbed
I'm guessing this is a mid 1970s model Coleman Stove.
We had one. Great stove. Great memories. Great Video.
Hmm. I didn’t check for a date code. I should and post in comments, thanks.
Best video on these things I have seen.....Bobby below is spot-on.
I watched the whole teardown. Great job on the stove. I couldn't do the breakdown of the 425 I have but would love to do it...I'm not sure I could put it back together again. Lol. Great job!
the best video on Coleman stoves i have found thanks
Glad you liked it!
Excellent video, thank you for posting it.
Just got down a 425E from a shelf in the garage where it has been sitting for 30+ years. The tank had some coleman fuel in it. It was my folks which I inherited. Oiled the pump (leather cup) and emptied the old fuel into a can. Found an excellent YT video (this video!) that shows how to test the tank and valves before you put fuel into the tank. My tank & valves tested OK. Then filtered some of the old fuel thru a paper coffee filter back into the tank, pumped it up and it fired right up and ran great. Pretty amazing after 30+ years of storage. Brought back childhood memories of camping & cooking.
Thanks so much for this! My stove had accumulated some residue over the years, and the burn was a little weak. With the help of this video, it's running like new again, despite its trail-won battle-scars.
Glad I could help!
Perfect how-to, thanks. I have one we haven't used since the '70s I'll have to go through. Thanks for serving. USAF 1958-1970
Its probably still service ready
WoW! Bud you brought back old times for me ! I was a Coleman repair guy .. I could still smell the fuel and cleaner while you did the video . BOOM you did it just like we did it ! GREAT JOB .
Great vid. Thank you for going through the entire process. Well done sir.
Thanks for watching!
thanks for this video. it helped me get my garage sale 425c running.
Excellent!
Thank you, I needed this. I'll probably be watching it quite a few more times as I get mine going again.
Glad to help.
Thanks for your time it's going to help me with my dad colman 413G were having to put him ina nursing home
Very informative video, thanks! Now I have something to search for when I go rummaging.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. This was very well filmed and narrated. Was straight to the point and didn’t waste any time, had all the relevant information I needed.
Youre welcome.
Bravo. I just pulled my 425 out of the attic, which we used one time 30 years ago. Looks brand new but it is shooting yellow flames out of the burner. Now I have a idea what we need to do.
This was a very good repair video. The information was concise and easy to understand. I have looked at several and overall this is the best one.
Awesome, thank you!
Great video..I began working at Coleman on August 25th 1971...My first night on the job was on this campstove line. Over the next several months I performed every position on the line. Back then it was a great company to work for. Very family oriented.. I spent 35 years with them through 3 mergers and acquisition.
Very cool!
This was great, and I thank you very much. My father started camping up in the Adirondacks in 1955 or so, me in 1967 as a young boy, and I carried on the tradition after his death in 1987. I still use the Coleman stove he bought in 1956 but have never done any work to it. We used to use unleaded gas, but switched to Coleman fuel decades ago. I've never drained the fuel upon storage and never had a problem just pumping it up and lighting it. Always works fine. But it's been a few years, and after 67 years I think it's worthy of a rebuild. Will buy the graphite from Old Coleman Parts (maybe a new pump leather or whatever they use these days) and hope all the other parts are in serviceable condition. Have to find a place that will sand blast/powder coat the tank...
Excellent information on a complete rebuild of these stoves...I have 2 that have been stored for decades that need to be gone through & rebuilt to get them functional again...I have a 425D & 425E...can't wait to have 2 fully functional classic Coleman stoves!
Make a video and share…. It would help us get more ideas to fix and restore them.
They probably work just fine as they are!
Outstanding presentation! All good clearly shown info with no ramble babble.
Thank you kindly!
This is the BEST video on this topic. It might be good to show a later version of the tank pump that dispensed with the retaining half-moon ring and replaced the pump piston leather with rubber.
This is the only version in my possession
Excellent, thanks. Not sure which model of this same stove I have from 1976, but since new, it's always leaked (small flame) where the generator tube goes into the manifold leading down to the burners. Never a huge issue, just blackened the bottoms of any pan I put on it... :) Never investigated why. Ideally, I'd like to get a propane conversion setup for it but they're getting pricy and probably not worth it since I don't even know when/if I'll ever use the stove again.
Side note, I traveled around the country for many months in a 1968 dodge van, forward control, engine/cover between front seats. I had a vent above that and could use the stove on top of the engine cover in poor weather just fine... :)
Outstanding in every aspect. Retired Stationary Engineer, Steam power plant for a state facility. Ongoing seminars & conferences, upgrading tech classes every year throughout my career. I know many people who would do just as competent a job on this rebuild, very few who could teach it in as fine a manner as this video. Excellent vocabulary, everything to the point, great step-by-step procedures with the proper explanations of functions. I only regret my lack of access to shop equipment since I retired Thank you for the effort and time you put into this, I know this will help a lot of folk who are not tradesmen.
Much of the tools needed, albeit slower in process could be found at harbour freight.
Already there. Miss the 20% coupons, new store just opened 5 miles down the road. But when I worked, I was welcome in all the shops to use their equipment within my abilities, as everything was put away and the space and equipment was cleaner than when I arrived. I retired in 2012 and my home tools just don't match the equipment, tools and especially the professional advice. I also took care and did the repairs on the HVAC/R ans steam systems as that was my shops' jobs.
Fantastic information, , Five Star video,🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 You should have primed the stove and repainted it. Great Content. 👍
Thanks so much for this video! I just found two 425s at our local transfer station for free. They are in great shape and I will be using your video to help guide me through their checkout
Thanks so much!!!
The video was clear and easy to follow the rebuild was also great
The font redo was good but should have refinished and repainted the rest of the stove .😃
Glad you enjoyed it.
Cleaned my 76 425 today after watching this video. Everything went perfectly and now I have a great running stove.
Fantastic!
Awesome video. I have an old Coleman three burner stove from the 60's. I see a project in my future. 👍👍
Very cool!
Going camping soon and I have a 413E that's having gas flow issues, your video was the first to pop up after a quick troubleshooting search. Excellent demonstration, your video was edited so that visuals were clearly displayed, and your vocabulary was very precise in diagnosing and addressing found issues. I found this video incredibly useful and I can't believe your audience is as small as it is for the attention to detail you've given. Your channel is definitely deserving of more exposure, you've earned a sub out of me!
My videos are a niche market...
I’m a new follower also.
@@retrotechandelectronics , I think many people use Coleman stoves for camping & emergency use. They’ve been around for many decades. Coleman is similar to Tide, or Bounty PTs. A recognized brand, that I think most Americans recognize & don’t consider buying any other Brand. I’m looking forward to seeing this stove totally restored! As many have requested! TY. Great educational video. I’d rather repair versus buying another 1 in our throw away economy.
@@ActorKevinOlson I also use it when we run out of burners and need an extra for boiling.
I have a 425 and a 424...looks like I just found 2 projects! Great video, thanks!
You're welcome/
Thank you, i just bought an unused 425F from '79 and wanted to give it a thorough de-surface rusting and inspection, this guide was perfect.
Glad it helped!
Your video is impressive to say the least and you are very articulate. Respect sent and Thank You.
Nice detailed video! Seeing the paint job on the tank was worth it alone! Love it!
I may do the rest in another video. Its not paint, its powdercoat
@@retrotechandelectronics Yeah, figure of speech. I think powder coat is a good idea.
Thank you for posting this video. It helped me diagnose and fix a leaky 425E for literally no cost. Very happy!
Great to hear!
Nice cleanup and refresh. Clear and to the point. These are amazingly simple when you break it down into groups and steps. The great thing about this cleanup is that you aren't afraid to use is when you're done. That powder coat on the tank is superb. Tell your friends and anyone who has one of these that the lighting instructions are on the lid. Read and follow them and you won't have any problems.
Top issue for the rookies:
1. Don't tilt the tank to fill it. Fill the tank as it sits on the stove. This prevents over filling and reserves ample air space in the tank. If you tilt the tank and over fill it, it won't light properly because fuel will drown the air induction port.
2. When lighting, make sure the lever is up, tank pressurized, light your lighter or match and hold it to the burner and open the main valve ALL THE WAY right away. If you try to nurse and throttle the valve, it will not start properly and flame up. This is because the instant lighting circuit need high velocity air mixing with the fuel in the fuel and air tube for a clean burning startup. If you try to throttle it, you won't get the velocity and you'll flood the generator causing big flare ups.
If you don't follow these "rules", it will still eventually run OK but you'll get black soot everywhere, waste a lot of time, fuel, and eyebrows in the process.
Great video, well done. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!!
That was excellent. Good precise english skills and excellent camera work.
Thank you very much!
This is a very thorough video. Nice job.
Glad you liked it!
Love that Army Stove!
Thanks!
Good job! One of the best Coleman stove work videos on here.
Thanks 👍
Thank you for this video. now i know how to maintain and clean my newly bought stove. Many videos i watched guys told they threw there stoves away because of malfuntion. if they saw your video i am sure this would not have been necessary to buy a new one. Greetings from Austria (Arnold Schwarzenegger not Australia)
Great video very through! I have the same stove someone gave me. I love the powder coating! It looks amazing! Thanks for the best one I've seen yet on this!
I have another up and coming Coleman powder coating project to be released soon.
I love watching video how how things work I am not knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff so this is kinda like being in a class room which I love thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, very timely as my 425 E is doing noting but blowing yellow flames and leaking in the interior. Great teaching style and it reminds me of the classes I had in "A" school back in the old days of the Navy.
I remember A school, good times.
yep, back when we were teenagers
Thanks! I just bought a new Coleman 424, which I think is exactly the same mechanically beside minor changes maybe... your video will be very useful to keep it running for the next century :D thanks and greetings from Italy!
I just did maintenance on that same stove, mine is 1977 vintage, still works great
Yeah, they can last forever.
Mine was always roaring with orange flame, then I realised after watching your video I had to turn the pump valve round 1 turn it fired up perfectly. Thankyou
You’re welcome, glad to hear it.
This is an incredible breakdown. Just found one of these in my parents basement crawlspace and wanted to set it up for camping this summer. This is everything I needed to know in marvelous detail, thanks again!!
Glad it was helpful!
I love the old ww2 squad stove on your bench. Had one of those in 1967!
I have a video in the coleman section for the restoration of that unit too.
I have a job like this that I need to get done. Thanks for adding to my weekend chore list.
I got a brand new never used Coleman 413g from 1972. Still with original paperwork and cardboard I almost don’t wanna use it it’s so cool but I’m probably gonna use it forever
This is great and clear, also you get to the point not like most TH-camrs that are more interested in showing their face, thank you for this good video
Excellent video with step by step instructions. I recently found my Coleman 425E hiding in the attic and I will restore using this video. Thank you.
Glad it helped
It's a beautiful Sunday day here in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada . We just went through hurricane LEE last night and all is fine. I bought a second hand Coleman 425 for 10 bucks at a flea market, just in case we lost our power, which we didn't, but now I want to know if my Coleman stove is safe to use and here I am, sitting here watching this 26-minute video and even though I have lots to do and maybe even take my bike out for a ride in the sun, I think I just had a much better time watching this man take his stove apart ... Men can be entertained by things that women just will never understand.
I once asked my wife why she never gets pissed at me for making beer in the basement, playing my drums in the basement, watching videos about Coleman stoves and that lovely lady said to me " Are you in a bar drinking?", " are you in a bar sniffing other women?", "are you gone all day to places I don't really know about?" ... NO, she said, so all is good on the home front ... " would you like a sandwich, Dear?" .... haha
Great video. This will be super helpful as I refurbish my Goodwill find. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Have needed this vidio for years,thank you.excellant!
Great tutorial! Precise and clear instructions
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video. I just got my first coleman brand new. First thing I will do, is to remove all screws and ad a bit of ceramic high temperature grease. That will help when the unit has to be serviced later on.
Excellent break down and repair of the Coleman Stove . Thank You.
You're welcome.
Thank you. You showed me exactly what I was looking for. A complete break down and maintenance of the stove.
Glad it helped.
Excellent tutorial on refurbishing the stove. Best video yet. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent video! Thanks for making this. Love these stoves.
Glad you like them!
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
Very good video. Taught me more than I needed to know. But that's a good thing.
Nice concise and detailed tutorial-very helpful!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you! Now I can really go to work! Very detailed - I needed that.
Glad it was helpful!
This tutorial is outstanding! Thank you for this.
You're very welcome!
So thorough, so technical, so well done. Other than some minor camera work on one part of the disassembly (around the 13 minute mark), this is as close to perfect a video as one could ever hope to find. Thank you sir!
Great stoves, dad and I camped for years with ours, I inherited it when he died and continued for another twenty years. Finally gave it to a friend and he's still using it.
I plan on doing a further restoration on this one, this coming fall
I burn gasoline in mine for years now. I've never taken it apart. I leave the old gas in it. It always works.
@@larryrobertstein7485 , What type of gasoline do u use? Regular, Medium, or Premium? Diesel? Kerosene? I have no clue! TY in advance!
I was gifted one of these the other day, used (barely). The tank wasn't emptied....this should be fun. I can't get it to pressurize, so it looks like some work ahead for me. Thanks for the video as I've never used one and was pretty clueless as to all the parts and what they did.
Some people forget to keep their finger on the hole of the pump as they close it. It’s important to do that. Otherwise u loose lots of pressure. The other thing is the --I valve, it must be in the proper position & both burners turned off.
