we have a coleman lantern. it is the pump up style with liquid gas. it lights and burns o.k. but when we try to shut it down, it will not shut off entirely. it will just continue to burn at a low level. its like the knob will not turn far enough to the right. it turns to the right horizontal (3:oo) position like it should but its just not enough to shut it off. we have been shutting it off by slowly opening the filler cap and releasing the presssure.
any thoughts or ideas on how to remedy this problem??
I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:
JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th
Brianf. – March 28th
Bobberwatcher – April….
MikeG3Boat – April 10th
SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st
Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.
