Coleman Stove

[KirkB]

Hi all and Happy New Year!

A little off topic, but my coleman liquid gas 3 burner stove (which I carry in my pop up... so maybe that's the connection) has stopped working. There's no pressure build up like before, and the fuel just sort of squirts out the end. I really don't have the time to fiddle with it right now. Does anyone know of a Los Angeles area place that can look at/fix it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

You can buy a pump rebuild kit for your stove at WalMart for like $7.  Or check out this link for really helpful hints to repair Coleman stoves:

I hope this helps!

i would definitely do the pump rebuild, or at least take the old pump out and soak the leather in a cup of clean motor oil for a day, that is what i do on my old stoves. alot of times the pump leather just gets dried out and needs to be re-oiled and it will swell up and hold pressure again..  as far as the fuel just spitting out of the end of the generator, it is just easy to get a new generator. You can take the generator apart and clean it, but for me it is easier to get a new one and not have to worry about it for another 10 years or so.      i collect old coleman stoves and lanterns and they are by far the easiest to work on.
