This can't be good....

Are you sure you didn't end up with a kerosene generator? That might explain why you are getting so much fuel. My AGM kerosene lantern will run on white gas if you preheat the generator first. If not you get too much raw fuel resulting in amazingly similar results.

Doesn't say for what gas.....Looks the sam3e as the old one......

Try putting the tip form the old generator on the new one.

You describe exactly how my older lanterns act when I get too much fuel in them. It's just a thought but take out some of the fuel and fire it up again.

Several of you made mention of the "Coleman Forum". What is the website?

It's got less than 1/2 tank fuel in it.Still no difference.

OK - so now you have a torch! - Just another way of looking at the whole situation

I want to thank all of you for trying to help me with my problem, but I think this one is going to be for display only. I'm not going to spend more money on it for now, maybe later if I find a used beatup 200 that runs fine I may work on it again. I have a gut feeling that the entire valve assembly is just wore out and needs to be replaced.

John, I can tell you for sure that you do not need a new valve. If you are getting fuel & you can turn it off, it is fine. I think it is the generator. I would put a different one on even thou that is a new one. You may have just got a bad one.

One question, in you album you have a picture of it running, what did you do different since that picture?

Nothing.....That's the way she runs after she settles down, it just takes about 3 or 4 minutes.
