Did you burn you mantle in before you tried to light it?
Did you put the correct generator in it?
You need a 200A5891 generator.
What mantel did you use?

Did you make sure the entire air tube is clean?
When you light it, do you have the match lit & net to the mantle before you crack the valve?
Are you only opening the valve 1/4 turn to light it?
Do you have the tip cleaner lever in the down position?

Did you check to see it the little wire is still in the generator rod?

doug hodder wrote:Never had one do that...I'm wondering if there is either some crud somewhere in the works that came out of the fount and got into the system or if the needle valve is shot. Some of the extended burn might be because the whole thing has been overfueled and it's burning it off. Does it ever finally shut off or just sort of run dim forever? Got all the parts in the fuel/air tube and into the little brass block correct? If it doesn't shut off, I'd look at the needle seat and valve. You wouldn't be trying to get even with me on this for my Heikki first light up prank would you ??? If so....good one! Doug

I would pull the generator off an check out. The easiest way is to take the frame nut off an just lift the entire frame off. Make sure the tip is on the generator. If so take the generator off an make sure the wire is still there. Also make sure the generator is hooked in the eccentric block. The other thing you may check to see if the screen is still in the burner.
