Found something different at the MWCA show
Well I went down to the MWCA show this weekend and left with something that I had been looking for sometime now. Didn't expect to find it at a gun show but I guess these thing aren't to uncommon to find at one.
Had to do a little cleaning, the pump gasket that is made out of leather was dry as a bone, soaked it in oil and the pump works great. I finally got it fired up and it will bring water too a boil, but the seal on the gas cap leaks and doesn't hold any pressure, used a green cap off one of my lanterns and it worked fine. Of course I had to completely disassemble the thing to figure that out. I'm surprised I didn't break anything, I guess that shows Colman knew what they where doing when they built these things. The only unfortunate thing is the handle for the two pots and the wrench are missing.
