Even if it is not getting enough fuel up the fuel /air tube turning the cleaning level as slowly as you turned it around should've turned the lantern off. If it is working properly having the lever up should block all fuel coming out. They are $9 collars at coleman here in wichita. it is easier to try that first. if you're careful you can do it without breaking the mantles.
Here is Dave to show you how it is done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dhb8TMh4_g8

I just accired this box two day ago + other coleman parts for fixing a few lantern for a guy in your wood workers guild here in Wichita. They look a bit dingy but that is just the age of them.
