Found this by accident. I'm 75. My dad, b. 1919, picked up one of these little stoves from a surplus store in Anchorage where we lived in 1946, and many times as a boy I saw it heating coffee or soup during camping trips, power outages, and cross-country road trips. I have it now, and should go through it before passing it along. Thank you for your well-done video!!
This is without a doubt the most thorough and concise pressurized fuel video on UA-cam. No unnecessary banter, nostalgic, time wasting trips down memory lane or annoying music. You efficiently dispensed with factual information and instructions with proper, concise nomenclature. Far and away the most efficient and instructional dissertation available on the subject matter. Best regards. We appreciate your hard work.
The fuel valve assembly is the same as the one in a 220 lantern. The reason it wants a 1/4 turn to light is that is the mixing position. The valve is ported to draw air from the tank (that is why the filler is below the top of the tank to create and air space) and mix with fuel when lighting. After the burner is hot and the generator is hot the fuel vaporizes on it own as it exits the generator tip. Then you turn the valve full on to only pick up fuel from the tank. Should also repressurize the tank at that time too. The tip cleaner will clog up if you use it for a variable fuel control. Like a 220 lantern this stove is either full on or off. Off is the knob not the tip cleaner.
I was lucky enough to obtain one of these recently and by god your video was AMAZING for me to work on it and/or troubleshoot it....VERY well done...VERY well laid out video....kept simple YET super helpful/educational. I'm pleased to say that between you and your video and with a few parts from old coleman parts I now have a awesome and functional unit that I use on a regular basis when out in the bush!! Thank you!! Oh...and also got my hands on a old Coleman 2 burner "Gold Bond" unit and enjoyed your other video on those types of stoves trying out different fuels in them etc. Good stuff!!
Well done. The most perfect disassembly and dissertation. I am in awe. Yes I have one of these I bought from Ebay. I tested it with a full fuel tank. I pumped it up, The pump feels loose, check valve condition is unknown. Nothing bent. But pumping it, causes fuel to leak at the knurling at the tank, at the base of the threads for the cap. I have to assume that the knurling means that the filler neck/tank cap can be unscrewed from the tank? Any experience with this Mr. Rubin?
Great informative video. Job well done. Just a thought about draining the fuel from the fount. I have rebuilt many lanterns and stoves over the years and found that the lanterns I find with white gas or Coleman fuel in them are in really nice shape with little to no rust inside. In every case I have found one with no fuel the fount has heavy to severe rust a pitting. The white gas has rust inhibitors in it. Once again Great video. Thanks for sharing and God bless.
I picked up one of these from an antique store for $18 then within a month my dad, who collected and restored Coleman lanterns, gave me a second one. They both work great.
Very well done. I just recently acquired one of these beauties and have been trying to learn all I can about them. Very much appreciate the detail in your video.
Mine came with a round metal plate the same diameter of the stove itself. It's designed to sit on top of the burner and does seem to help reduce the heat to my canteen cup somewhat.
I picked one up today complete & in great shape I have many old coleman items all beautiful but this & my aladdin stove are my favorites. Thank you for sharing & keeping these classic items going.
Great video Shipmate! Thank you for taking the time to show us this info! I just got my first 530 and looking forward to having fun with it!! vr, QM2(SS) Rinehart
Wow. Amazing video. Exactly what I needed...I bought a 530 on eBay last year, advertised to be working but its not. I will attempt this disasembly and cleaning and see what happens. Thank you.
Thank you for this great video, helped me tremendously with cleaning out my oarts. For whatever reason I can’t get my stove to light and stay lit. I think it may be the vaporizer.
@@retrotechandelectronics thank you! I double checked all parts, check valve is good and changes the cap it held pressure for 24 hrs. All I can think is vaporizer as I re-cleaned the internal tube, everything seems to be fine. Screen is somewhat dirty as I cleaned as best I could. I will keep at it though. Thank you again for this video it was extremely helpful.
There is a never ending debate on this matter. Im of the opinion for long term storage it should be completely emptied and something like inox sprayed lightly into the tank.
@@retrotechandelectronics It just says, "Made In Canada", 1-47 (January 1947). I also received the original instruction sheet with it. I got the original tool handle but did not get a fuel funnel.
Super helpful video I just dug mine out of the crawl space this video was exactly what I was looking for Quick question my tank have a fair bit of rust in it what would you recommend to clean that out
Your video inspired me to look to buy a single burner Coleman stove. There are both 520 and 530 models for sale online. Do you have an opinion on which model to purchase?
Thank you for this wonderful video ….. I recently purchased. This stove but I’m having hard time looking for a replacement non return valve for the pump Any idea on replacement model number or any other Coleman non return pump valves fit this and hat special tool do I need to remove it , thank you
Great tear down! Been going through an old Coleman stove phase, have a 502, a 413 and soon to have a 530. Curious how you think water gets into the fuel and rusts tank out… does it condense through the steel? Also I wonder if Coleman’s “anti rust” additives would help much. Plan on keeping a 530 in my vehicle
Hello I had a quick question for you about the Coleman 530. I have one and it's the b46. I completely tore it down and cleaned everything I could and got it working damn near perfect. The only issue that I have that I was hoping maybe you could give me some idea on how to fix it is, when I get done using it and I turn it off and I leave the lever the lever with the cleaning needle down, and I turn the knob to the off position the burner still goes for about 5 more minutes minimum and never completely actually shuts off. With the lever down I know that means that the needle is down so it's letting the fuel up so I do that and then turn the knob completely off but it still continues to burn not quite as high as when I had the knob turned all the way up but it goes for 5 or 10 minutes before it slowly eventually turns off do you think that's a issue with the knob and I'm not sure how to adjust that. The lever seems to work fine and everything else is perfect but that's my only issue is turning it off it seems to not turn off when I have that knob all the way to the off position. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you very much for everything and I love the video
@@retrotechandelectronics . If you don't mind me asking which valve? Are you referring to the dial? That seems to run good back and forth off to on really good I'm just not sure how to adjust it so when I turn it completely off and the dial is all the way clockwise to off, I'm not sure how to adjust it
I have a 530 also but I am having a hard time taking out the screen it’s stuck inside the tube any suggestions on how to get it out and not damage screen while doing it?
@@retrotechandelectronics Thank you sir I will try to do that with my stove your video made it possible for me to tear mines down and service it. Keep up the videos you have the talent for teaching your instructions are precise and to the point and very clear.
@@retrotechandelectronics you said in this video you'd have an in depth video on this one with boil tests and stuff. Lol No worries just like your videos and I'm looking for a 530 so I watched your 530 video. I now know why they had "simmer plates" there's only one speed on this .... Turbo lol
Finally tried my father's 530 GI Stove. Little off but not even close to working. I'm going to give it some time and if it doesn't work I'd like to contact you about rebuilding the stove for me? Mike, High Point North Carolina, phone number to follow per your instructions.
The documentation does state that the cleaner handle can be used as an adjustment for simmer, that for a function demo video, not for regular water boil testing .

I found one of these stoves thrift shopping and immediately knew it was something special! Thank you so much for your video,! I enjoyed watching!
You are so welcome! Did you get yours running?
You would think I have seen one of those before. I was never in the military. But was a heavy camper type family for 30 years. Nice job! 👍
Thanks, Not unknown, but also not very common.
perfect, thanks! I often use it to make tea when the kids come home from school.

Very good video. I've never taken my 530 apart. This will be extremely helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Totally loving the break down tear apart , the engineering you just don't see these days allowing for such a device to literally function forever .
I wish it did variable adjustment, but it really isnt designed for it.
Mine came with a round metal plate the same diameter of the stove itself. It's designed to sit on top of the burner and does seem to help reduce the heat to my canteen cup somewhat.

I acquired one lately gotta go through it thanx for the video
You're welcome
Thank you for this great video, helped me tremendously with cleaning out my oarts. For whatever reason I can’t get my stove to light and stay lit. I think it may be the vaporizer.
All parts must be individually inspected, only one failure will stop it from functioning.

Great little stove, I leave fuel in mine all the time as rust prevention.
There is a never ending debate on this matter. Im of the opinion for long term storage it should be completely emptied and something like inox sprayed lightly into the tank.
Awesome and amazing job on the tutorial!
One thing that I would love to know is where you get the parts. ?
Awesome video, thanks! Going through one I recently got!
Good luck!
Very good informative video on this stove. Thanks for the video sir.
You are very welcome
Thanks so much, very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Are these safe to use with gasoline or just Coleman fuel
Very nice video, sir.
Thank you.

Is there a marker on the stamp for a location for production.

Where can you find replacement parts? If there are any?

Hello, please tell me if there is a difference in disassembly between the 530 and 520 models?
Do you have a link to where you got the wrench from? Please
Great video
Thanks!
Super helpful video I just dug mine out of the crawl space this video was exactly what I was looking for
Quick question my tank have a fair bit of rust in it what would you recommend to clean that out
For light rust some STEEL BB's and naphtha shaken around for a few minutes. Then fish the BB's out with a magnet.
Your video inspired me to look to buy a single burner Coleman stove. There are both 520 and 530 models for sale online. Do you have an opinion on which model to purchase?
Not the military one, if you plan on using it....

interesting refurb, thanks
Thanks for watching!
I have one that runs but loses pressure sooner than it should. I need a check valve wrench to clean it out.
Most possible

Being a sealed (pressure) system I wouldn't think moister would make it's way in if you shut it off after use
Moisture in the atmosphere pumped into the font where it condenses. Being heavier than the fuel it settles in the bottom causing rust.
Great!
Thanks!

There is some residual fuel, but mine does not go a further 10 minutes is excessive, you may want to look at that valve again

@@lessstuffmorefreedom-livin6886 yes, the fuel must be coming from past the valve is not fully closed

Can a new leather pump seal be easily made?
yes there are established techniques to make the leather gasket.
Does coleman not spec sealant on the threads?
I've not had any leaks, id only go that route if regular tightening was insufficient,.
I have a 530 also but I am having a hard time taking out the screen it’s stuck inside the tube any suggestions on how to get it out and not damage screen while doing it?
A safety pin or sewing needle can be used to pull the screen out the way i did, maybe soaking it for a while to loosen any crud would be advisable.

I can still find a few cheap ones around, but none in reasonable condition.

Gas would work fine, but additives would mean more often maintenance and naphtha generally comes with rust inhibitors.
it isnt working or burning right....LOL
