Coleman 242C Won't build pressure

Lanterns, stoves, etc... anything old!

Parts came in today's mail.

Interesting thing to note, I was still having trouble getting it to pump up, so I tried the pump out of my 425 stove that has a leather pump - pumped up just fine.

I haven't finished it yet - I wanted to be sure that it would live before I finished the fount and collar

Check valve & air stem, pump, & generator. Still need to do the gasket, but that will wait for a warmer day.

Thanks Jeremy...the gaskets you sent arrived today and I rushed out to the garage and put one in. There wasn't' anything left of the old one and the 242 holds pressure like new!!!!
