Hey Canoedogs,

I remember Coleman started using more plastic parts on the new stoves. I had trouble once with the plastic unit that held the fuel tank pump assembly, I think I broke it trying to remove the plunger? The older metal type that was locked in with a spring clip was better.

If you have no oil to lube the leather plunger washer, just about anything will work. I often use Chapstick in the winter and have even used margarine.

Was there an Easy-Light model of naptha Coleman stove, I think all of mine are older than that?
