Question
bikeoutback
I have an old coleman lantern. In "inherited" it from my father and I remember we used it camping as a kid in MI so it's at least 16+ years old. It's one that takes coleman fuel oil and it worked about a year ago but this past summer it appears it has stopped. When I go to prime it it never builds pressure as far as I can tell. I can put my thumb over the hole and pump continuously and it never gets any tougher on the 50th pump than the 1st. I know there is parts in there that I can replace but I have 2 problems:
1. I don't know what they are called or where to look it up?
2. I don't know who would even carry such parts anymore? I have not searched in depth too much as of yet as it's winter but would like to get it going before summer again.
I know I could get a new lantern of a different type of any number of reasons but I already own this one and I rarely see them these days that have a rear handle with shield to carry and project light out 180 degrees. I'd rather just fix it.
