Found one at The Salvation Army for $15. The thing was built in February of 1966. A little TLC, a new O ring for the cap and restoration of the leather on the pump and it runs like new.
I haven't seen this done in 50 years since I watched my father do it to his 1947 PREWAY 2 Burner Camp Stove, my parents bought when they got married, when I was a kid. I converted his stove and mine to propane so I won't be screwing around with white gas any more
This has been an excellent presentation. Thank you so much. I have just purchased a 3 burner from a yard sale and I can't wait to repair it.thanks a million sir.
Excellent. The nail polish sealer is just one of the many top tips to be found in this sensible and complete Video. Serviced my new found 18 year old Coleman and now it runs like new. Many thanks from Australia
I was lucky enough to find one here in town last week, for only $40 CAD...heckuva deal! The owner felt he had to get rid of it because it just wouldn't burn the way it used to.
When I pulled the generator, it was completely crudded up, so I popped it in vinegar for a few hours and then gently cleaned it with 4-0 steel wool.
Now I have a three-burner!
Love your videos, keep up the great work.
I’ve used denatured alcohol and steel wool to clean mine.
Look for the propane version of the 3-burner stove... 5428 Guide. It makes a nice addition to the awesome 426 and it is arguably the BEST Coleman propane stove, if size is not a big deal!
Thank you brother for sharing your thoughts and adventures
Just picked up a rusty 426D for $20 on F.B. Marketplace. I just going to put it on eBay and flip it, but it fired right up. 3 burners is really cool! Now I'm thinking, tear it down, clean it up, a little paint and make it a "keeper" 😎
These stoves bring back a lot of memories. Great video. Thanks for sharing. 👍
years ago when parts weren't too expensive and white gas was, old timers used regular gas and either replaced the generator or just throw the lantern over board and bought a new one with the money they saved on the fuel
Thanks for this video, I just picked up a 426b and I bet I'll watch this a time or two.
Excellent!
Thanks for sharing and showing how that camp stove gets serviced. I have my Dad's from way back. Thanks again.
Great video please keep them coming!
We enjoy the videos brotha!! Just got thru going thru my 426B. Got a 426D also. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks for this video! Just found my 3 burner 428 Y2K stove and am cleaning it out!!! It’s never been used, so other than exterior rust, it’s in great shape.
Thats exactly what i needed to get my old stove working. Thanks brotha
Got mine at a pawnshop for $20 in good working condition. Packings and everything are in amazing shape and all three burners like brand new. No fuss starting. As long as you stick with the white gas and don't experiment with other fluids like other youtubers do you're fine. Always use the proper fuels and keep them well maintained they can last forever. Also some of my in-laws have hand me downs that are almost 60 or so years old and still work like a charm.
Yeah, I’m with you. It’s cool to have fuel diversity and some appliances tolerate it better than others, but since white gas is still commonly available for sale, I just burn the white gas in my Coleman lanterns and stoves.
They don’t make that model anymore (I’m sure everyone knows that). I inherited one from my dad when he passed. To my surprise, it’s new in the box! Whaaaat?! Yeah, I’m pretty stoked.
Heck yeah! Score!!
Excellent video. Thank you
Thanks for video, I love these old Coleman stoves.
Nice job, I’m doing the very same with a 426b, mine is an early one with the bronze lacquer tank. Should going back together tomorrow. Your right, treated right these will last a lifetime. 👍🏻
Very nice job. Love these stoves. Watching you light this reminded me of what I like to keep inside of the case. If you ever have a long and empty electric dollar store BBQ lighter, it works great for lighting gas stoves of all kinds. It doesn't need butane at all. The little piezo sparker works perfect and you don't need to get close to the burner with a Bic. So next time you empty a lighter like this, keep it instead of throwing it out. Been using mine for years for stoves and even my Weber Q. Thank you once again.
Great idea! Pro Tip. 👍🏻
Awesome, stove, makes me want to buy every one I see! and I see them quite often at garage sales, fleamarkets and estate sales, wont be passing them up anymore !!
Very cool, i love coleman products.
Thanks for the video well done
good stuff,.. I grew up using these stoves for camping. we have one that is not running so will put this info to work. thankyou.
That is a VERY Helpful video!!! Thanks for explaining I was getting a headache from the others I had watched. I hope mine works after I complete the check up!
Thank you, Blessings from Arizona!
Thanks for some great ideas
Thanks for the vid! Just picked one of these up through the Facebook Marketplace. My tank, main burner, and the grates need some love. I will put this to use!
I got a pristine 426d once at a gun show for $25. The cap seal was bad. That’s it. It looked like it had been possibly lit once with no evidence it had actually been used to cook. That was years ago though.
Good video!
Thanks for all the vids they helped me alot !
A .22 cal bore brush on a cleaning rod in a drill does wonders to clean out generator tubes. If the spring is stuck in the tube, or its really nasty, boil everything in vinegar.
That's a nice stove, congratulations!
Great video brother! Thank you!
Awesome job as usual on a fantastic piece aloha from Hawai'i.
Yes, I like the video! 👍 Have a 3 burner Coleman stove, too. It was in a used camper that we bought many years ago. It's been a long time since we've used it. Your video reminds me that I need to get it out and check it out. Quite likely it needs some TLC, as well. I have a couple of propane adapters. Can't remember if one of them fits the 3 burner. (I have several more Colman camp stoves - both liquid fuel & propane. ). Soon be time for more eating outdoors. So, I do need to get it out and get it ready. Thanks for the inspiration!
Working good it’s time for camping
Hello JiuJitsu, Hope your having a great week. Nice job on this video..as usual...Thank you again for your videos. 🙂👍🏻
great knowledge thanks for making this video so easy to understand.
Thank you
love youe videos man, Thanx so much for all your help and easy to follow directions !!
Thank you, blessings!
Love it. Just found one with the old round tank for 20 bucks at estate sale.
Thank you, Excellent deal!!
Love it! Mine is a little rough, but I just picked up an older 426D for $10 and the pump is rockin. Just had to oil the leather cup. I bought a Stansport propane converter (I know, sacriligious) for it as well and love its added versatility and not putting too much wear and tear on the tank. Hooked it up with a 5 lb propane tank and associated converter hose and I am thinking it will be my Go-to stove from now on. I imagine the Coleman Fuel will work better in cold weather. After the season I may get ambitious toss it one side at a time into an electrolosys tank and then restore repaint. If you or any other viewers have tips please let me know.
The Coleman fuel may work better in cold weather, but it certainly has A LOT more BTUs than propane. For what it’s worth
Well all I can say at this point is Thanks I learned alot good video.👍🏻😎
Those stoves are bulletproof as long as the receive some TLC. Another great video!
That was the info I needed, thanks.
My 421 tank goes to max pressure on 1/2 a pump. Is the pump clogged? It wont burn steady, mostly not at all.
@@duderama6750 It could be a stuck check valve. Try removing the pump, and squirting some carb cleaner down the pump...it may take a while and plenty of sprays, but that might free the ball in the valve.
there was a guy at the Grateful Dead Shows called "the pancake man" He used about 5-10 of these stoves at the same time cookin pancakes and eggs, his slogan was "All you can eat for a buck and if you aint got a buck a buck...all you can eat !
I have one my dad gave me from the early 60’s
nail polish is cheaper then lock tite, if you do use lock tite, use the blue. you can get it loose
I have one of these from my father who bought it in the '70s. I even have the stand. The last time I used it was in 2004 until this week. Now I find it's not holding pressure very well. It's getting hard to find replacement fuel caps. I recall my father lighting wood that was wet by rain by using the tank like it was a flame thrower. Not the safest way to use the stove but in an emergency I am sure it would help.
Well, the fuel cap is steel so you may not need a new cap. You may just need to replace the rubber gasket inside it.
Score! I'd love a 3 burner
Thanks for your video! Does the generator require an o-ring or packing? Mine does not have anything where it screws into the vlave.
My dad had one of those they’re the best I have a newer style one it doesn’t matter what it’s set to it burns as a freakin torch boils water in maybe 4-5 minutes and this was cheaper than the gas style burner stove not even a regular propane grill burns that hot I prefer older stuff myself always made to last and work right
So glad you didnt use the forbidden word concerning applying the nail polish... Its bad enough the lighting levers on the left... 🤙
Would give my I-teeth for one of those - sadly getting one shipped from the US costs about $200 no matter how cheap the stove is. I've never seen a 3 burner for sale in the UK at any price.
Did you take apart the burner assembly and clean?
Spend $25 go to Wal mart buy some tools instead of adjustable wrenches. Also go to the gun store and buy a 22 cal brass brush to clean the inside of the generator. And how did you clean the inside of the tank?
What kind of oil to lubricate the pump?
My coleman 2 burner doesn't turn off completely. The flame lingers in the burner for a long time. Is this a leak? Thanks and I love easy to follow video.
Not a leak. It's running residual fuel out of the generator. You can switch the lighting valve back to the light position for a few seconds before shutting the main burner down and that should lessen the effect and keep you generators internals clean longer. You probably already knew this by now. Answering just incase someone else has the same question.
Hi sir I've just started watching your videos on the Coleman 3 burner 426B !!!
I just came into possession of a Coleman 3 burner 426D the tank says it was made 2/69
I was wondering were I can get all the replacement parts needed to referbish it it's almost like new it needs a little cleaning and some paint but I need to know where I can get replacement parts
Burner elements & seals fuel caps and seals for those I'd like to get me a nice little stockpile of parts so I don't have to constantly hunt down stuff I can get it all at once
Thank you for stopping by and welcome to the channel. I hope I've earned your subscription. I go to old Coleman parts.com
@@jiujitsu2000 my father actually had one just like the one I just got !!!
My next door neighbor tossed it in the dumpster and I asked her what they were doing with it I told her she had no idea what she had there
She gave it to me for free !!! I didn't pay a single cent for it !!!
I was thinking about repainting it
In woodland camo paint scheme
Just the outside of it !!!!
On the inside I was thinking about using some high heat paint maybe silver or something
The date code is on the bottom.
The old dirty gas should be discarded
The gunk build up is varnish from fuel sitting in tank for long time
Rustoleum?
My dad told me to never use gasoline in the coleman camp stove
Don't use teflon tape, use Gasoila or Permatex.
