Brother, You can use Leather or Rubber automotive belt to wrap around the fill cap 1 time, Then use your Pliars to pinch the Belt tight around the lid. You will see a Leverage Form at a Variable Angle (careful not to damage Cap) Due to leverage Placement, And you have removed a Unscratched Un-Damaged Cap! God Bless and thank you for sharing your video with me.
Wow . . . this is more than awesome ! My Dad was recently going to throw his original Coleman Lantern in the trash. Luckily I caught him and stopped the non-sense. I looked at the date and it was made October of 1956. 13 Years before I was born ! I'm going to re-build it thanks to you ! Much appreciated !!!!
Hi Frank! THIS is the video that got me into this strange obsession! I went from 1 CL2 3 years ago to about 65 Coleman lanterns today. I just finished rebuilding a 1953 220E tonight, and it ran great! I learned everything I know about them from you. Thanks, man! Bob.
Super informative and thorough video! I bought one at a recent yard sale that looked great, only to find that the valve was locked up. I am 69 years old, a former Boy Scout an have always wanted one of these. YOUR video should help in putting it back to semi original condition. Thank you so much
I cannot tell you how helpful you have been to me with your videos. I have 8 220f's ranging from 8/64 to 1/70 and a few months back I set to rebuilding all but one (never fired). You have been a wealth of knowledge and saved me countless hours of wasted time. My lanterns look near mint and function flawlessly at this point. Thanks again!
Wow! What a joy it is to watch someone who knows what they are doing! I'm sure that it's from 20 years of learning. Great video! I really enjoy listening to you.
Frank , Frank , Frank where the hell have you been my friend ? ? ? Frank from montana.....I have only one word for you here it is,,,,,, please put out more videos. Ain't heard nothing from you in a long time.... ( so it's more then one word...
I know I'm late to the party but thanks for the videos. I recently purchased a "birthday lantern" 10/78. It actually seems to pass the pressure startup procedures and looks clean so I'm going to put mantles on it and see if it works. If not it will be getting a rebuild.
15:47 Hi there. Hopefully you read these newer comments. Recently rebuilt a 12/73 220H using you video as a guide. To clean the tank, which was heavily varnished, I used a Costco Wholesale store degreaser (comes in 2x 1 gallon jugs). Full streanth and added some small nuts and bolts. Was by far the best stuff ever. After, sitting over night and with several shakes, it came out sparkling clean! My lantern was completely restored using all original parts but for a fuel cap gasket and pump reconditioning. Thanks for your help and give that degreaser a try it really works!
Dude thanks for the video as i did have to modify a tool to take out the check valve to service it and re install it with a rubber ring to help seal. What a great hobby
I tore down my 1/60 228E down, and I had the same experience as you did when removing the tip cleaner housing. The entire valve assembly came out. A friend held the fount as I turned the wrench, he then clamped the valve assembly in a crescent wrench as I loosened the tip cleaner housing. Thanks for making this video, as I followed your advice on removing the tip cleaner housing. I definitely need to do the BB dance with the fount,as the bottom is caked with varnish. Thanks for making this video, so I can keep this 1/60 big hat burning.
I grew up around these lanterns. Have seen numerous different types of failures in them. Some were rather eventful. The lantern I have currently, I found in a trash pile on the side of the road. I replaced a couple parts on it. It has been going strong for several years now.
Great video. Repaired a Peak one lantern month ago. Someone gave me two model 220F and 228F lanterns. One is in really bad shape. Just playing with better one first. Will still need lots work. Your video will be great step by step reference.
I have a small addiction to Coleman lanterns. I have 5 of them and only one is working properly. This is going to be very helpful! I also have 2 Coleman space heaters, and 2 stoves. But the lanterns are above the rest. Thank you!
I just found your channel and I love Coleman Lanterns. They bring back fond memories camping and hunting. What an excellent technical documentary on lantern repairs. This channel is 1000% useful, informative and just plain fun! Thanks. I can't wait for new video from you. Cheers
Another thing I found out if you have a thumbler tumbler model b the tank just fits. Pack some newspaper in and around the tank after loading it with your favorite tumbling media. You can use tumbling stones, ball, bearings, nuts, etc you can even add soap and water with it. Just block the holes with rubber stoppers that you can get at most hardware stores. If not you can use a silicone plug. Set it up and Tumble away. After I do suggest mixing up a solution of citric acid and water and pickling the inside. This is called passivate and citric acid is one of the two acids that will do this. The other one is called nitric acid more expensive turns your fingers yellow. This will make it harder in the future for corrosion to happen again. AKA much better than new. Thanks again for all your hard work and great lessons and tutorials.
Another tip.. Turn you channel locks around when trying to loosen anything. The teeth on channel locks are sloped one way and are designed to "bite" or "grab" as force is applied. When used the way shown at 33:25 when removing the cap, they have a tendency to slip if your not careful.
I have 2 double mantel lanterns, One I bought in the early 70,s and another i found, abandoned out side an apartment. I've not used them in years and both have problems. Also I have an old 2 burner stove that I found in the junk, it worked for about 10 years, after replacing the generator and filler cap. At that time, pre computer, I had a huge amount of trouble finding any replacement parts. DYI repairs may be a bit difficult for me to do, but I am subscribing as of now to learn how to DYI anyway Superb video, Now for No.2 and subscribe.
That’s a nice Wilton bullet vice. I restored one a few years ago. It has a date stamp from 1972. It works like a dream. I fabricated my own stand and bracket using round metal pipe and some flat stock . I welded it to an 18 wheeler rim that was laying in my backyard to use as a base
You are the second one to mention my vice--thank you! Actually it was one of the tools that I bought during the yard sale where I bought the 1500+ lanterns & stoves. I have loved having it for 20 years now, and thanks to good folks like you, I love it even more! I'm waiting to build my workbench where it will be positioned properly, because where it is now is horrible.
I have a lantern that needs cleaned or repaired I love this lantern and I'm needs information how to send it to be done Or maybe you might want to do a video on my lantern anyways I need help your videos are great you are a very good instructor thank you for sharing your awesome Coleman collection it's amazing
Talk about a niche! Great no-nonsense DiY. Dunno what’s up with ours, but perty sure rust isn’t an issue. Won’t stay lit easily. Probably just needs a good ol’ fashion broom. Thanks!
As far as the frame nut, since you have the top off, just use a 9/16 crowfoot wrench and socket with an extension bar. No odd angles, and wrench fully engaged with the nut.
I have a 1951 228E I need to clean. I bought it for 10 dollars and it works but the mantles burn kind of amber instead of bright white. I can take it apart because I have taken them apart before but I don't have the special tool you have to pull the check valve out. So I usually don't mess with it if I can help it. Looks like it has never been touched. It still had bad fuel in it when I got it plus it has that same 3 piece fuel cap with the hole in the side. Great video !!!
I know I've already seen and commented on this video. However I'm back for reference, because I just got a 228E on ebay on the cheap. Incredibly, I just popped some. Mantles on and it fired right up on the fuel that was already in it. However, the cleaning lever and fuel valve are pretty hard to turn so I want to replace the packings. I'm back to see if the packing for the cleaning lever can be replaced without wrecking anything 🤣
I was right there with you until the set screw on the burner assembly. I cannot get it loosened. My 10/71 220F has never been used. I'm taking it apart because it looks like rust lining the inside of the fount. The rest is pristine. I did manage to free up the cleanout mechanism. So far everything is good except the inside of the fount. The pump was also good. What oil is recommended for the pump? THANKS for this video! On to Part 2!!
Other videos have said use basic 3-in-1 oil, but I've always just used a few drips off the old engine block dipstick. Probably pretty dirty oil which would eventually clog up the check valve, but I've never had a problem.
13:27 I bet the most "ideal" tool for that 9/16 nut would be what's called a "claw foot", it's just the head of an open end wrench with a square socket hole on the back where you can put in an extension at 90° that's long enough to clear over the top of the globe housing.
Nice Vid. You're holding the Channel Lock pliers backwards. If you turn an adjustable wrench or this channel-lock the other way, it will tighten the jaw clamping pressure as you put force on it.
A 9/16 "crows foot" might work excellent for getting at that base nut. I think that might be helpful to those who don't have the wrench you used in the video 👍 just stumbled upon the channel as I am purchasing three "new to me" lanterns and a catalytic heater on Monday. Just subbed 👍
@@macgyver5108 Haha that very well may be the correct name. That's why I put it in quotations because that's just the name my pops always called it as I was growing up so it stuck with me. But hey at least you knew what I was talking about! 👍
@@yamahondazuki95 Called a "crowfoot" wrench because of its shape, this wrench was used in steam train repair work and to reach and to hold nuts and boltheads in difficult-to-reach places.Called a "crowfoot" wrench because of its shape, this wrench was used in steam train repair work and to reach and to hold nuts and boltheads in difficult-to-reach places.
I’ve got a really old Coleman lantern and I can’t get the pump to move pressure into the tank. I even pulled the brass check valve out and have the lid off and it still won’t send the pressure to the tank side. Is there a fix for this or is the assembly toast?
There's a little tube running from the check valve up towards the top of the inside of the fuel chamber which can also get clogged with varnish. Frank does cover how to clean this (sometimes taking months apparently but usually succesfully). Can't remember which video it was sorry...but he does cover it a couple of times in two videos. Good luck!
Outstanding tutorial, sir! I have a 1978 220J. It pumps up fine, holding pressure fine as well. The original gasket is oiled up and not rotted out. I turn the knob a quarter turn and the fuel is coming out very good too. I can light it and it runs great for about 15 seconds and then the flame dies down and then goes out. Any ideas on what the issue is?
I like the design of the factory tool to get that check valve out. I can probably make one out of a piece of thick wall steel pipe and a piece of all thread that screws into the check valve and a washer and a nut and welding a big nut onto the pipe. Or just use channel locks, vise grips or a pipe wrench to turn the pipe. Just trim the end of the pipe to fit in that groove.
Once again, thanks so much. A FOUNT of knowledge! Hehe. All the tips and tricks are invaluable. This is like a $500 course. I need to send you a few bucks man. Hey, speaking of which, if you can do a rendition of Schools Out or Billion Dollar Babies here.....you could make a lot of money. I had to seriously grind down a 9/16" wrench to get that burner nut. But.....now I have the tool.
Hi Frank I inherited 3 228E Lanterns when my father passed away, and I'm a little discouraged about being able to get parts. For example: the check valve. Where can I buy one? Is there a new model number that covers this? Fantastic video by the way, and you do a great job explaining the procedures. Thank You.
My valve stem on my 220E Coleman is kind of tight, opening and closing. Do I need to replace the packing? Or just clean it up , Using a wire brush and Lubricating.
At the beginning is a caution on the filler caps. After working on a few of these I was removing a cap and sure enough fuel sprayed out the hole - the warning is definitely for real. Now, I knew about the caps so it wasn't a problem but I hadn't experienced it. If it was lit it definitely could have been pretty bad. I now keep the two piece for display, and use newer caps when I run the lanterns. Be safe!
Well idk about having an older unit but I have duel fuel 700 and it's screw that holds the lid on was impressed into the silver thingy and it just sitting there I can lift it up and down but it's not possible to put the lid on with it to far down were the threads won't reach coleman let me keep the old one that is still in the box so I'm wondering can I some how fix this issue can the screw be replaced that holds the top on I can't just let it sit here with no purpose I must give it life any help is much appreciated

He's a Master at using the Channel Locks in the direction used; you don't want to bite! Adjusting to the correct thickness is the secret...

Frank, can you make a video on cq lamp disassembly and repair?
As far as the frame nut, since you have the top off, just use a 9/16 crowfoot wrench and socket with an extension bar. No odd angles, and wrench fully engaged with the nut.
that’s what i use. i have a set of crows feet that are line-wrench style instead of standard open end and they work perfect

13:27 I bet the most "ideal" tool for that 9/16 nut would be what's called a "claw foot", it's just the head of an open end wrench with a square socket hole on the back where you can put in an extension at 90° that's long enough to clear over the top of the globe housing.
I used my Craftsman Crow-Foot wrench.
very formative and well done Thanks

Nice Vid. You're holding the Channel Lock pliers backwards. If you turn an adjustable wrench or this channel-lock the other way, it will tighten the jaw clamping pressure as you put force on it.

What kind of oil is best for the pump ?
I’ve got a really old Coleman lantern and I can’t get the pump to move pressure into the tank. I even pulled the brass check valve out and have the lid off and it still won’t send the pressure to the tank side. Is there a fix for this or is the assembly toast?

I’d say the generator isn’t properly operating.
Great tutorial. Wondering if you have any tips on changing the burner screen on a Coleman CL2?
I like the design of the factory tool to get that check valve out. I can probably make one out of a piece of thick wall steel pipe and a piece of all thread that screws into the check valve and a washer and a nut and welding a big nut onto the pipe. Or just use channel locks, vise grips or a pipe wrench to turn the pipe. Just trim the end of the pipe to fit in that groove.
Where can I get pats for an old CL-2, like heat shield and metal eccentric bloc?
Whoever designed this type of lamp was a genius !!!!!! what year were these invented or marketed 1800's ?
You can thank William Coleman for this technology.
Would the same process work with a 228d?
Coleman just sends you a new unit
?
If I want to send in my Colman lantern in to get cleaned and new valves who could I send it to.
Why couldn’t you use a 9/16 socket to get the frame nut off?
Once again, thanks so much. A FOUNT of knowledge! Hehe. All the tips and tricks are invaluable. This is like a $500 course. I need to send you a few bucks man.
