Back in the 1980's I was just starting out backpacking and knew practically nothing about where to get gear or even what type of gear I needed. A friend of mine found this stove for me at a garage sale, cost me a dollar. I just dug it out today and started looking around the internet for it. Never knew there was that storage section in the pump tube! I had that problem with the fuel leaking out of the pump tube, somehow it fixed itself over time maybe with my help though I never knew what I did to fix it. Once it was fixed, it gave me years of trouble free use. Thanks for the video.
I just pulled out my fathers M1950 that he acquired on deployment in Vietnam, and with the help of this video gave it a little service. Worked first go, but the pip seal cracked soon thereafter and consequently I had a bit of gasoline to mop up. I cracked open the spares in the plunger, replaced the pip, changed the vaporiser, oiled up the original pump leather, and I was good to go! Looking forward to using it this weekend on a trip. She’s theatrical to get burning blue, but it’s a fun experience. Good shit 👍🏼
In this video Rodger’s 1951 stove repair it is important that safety comes first. When putting the pump back together you pointed out the danger of the pump pushing out when under pressure. This was very good, but as an extension too this people need to understand thy are dealing with a pressure vessel and should be tested for leaks. The pump housing seal is where the risk is greatest once the stove warms up. It is really important that the pump housing screws are done tight so that seal is most effective. Remember these stoves will blow up if poorly maintained. Dunking in water is a great way to test for leaks.. thanks Ken
Thanks for posting this. I just picked one up myself on FB Marketplace. I replaced all the gaskets (pip was leaking on mine as well) and it runs like a jet engine.
I have never tried it myself but it won't hurt anything. I have sprayed it through check valves to clean them without removing them before I got a tool and left it in the fount with no issues. Not sure how well it works for the generator
Hey I see you dig these stoves. I have an extra spare clip and an extra diffuser (vaporizer) and needle if you want it. No charge! It always feels nice to have a complete unit. If you know, why does the one cook top leg have a sort of leaf spring on it?
Wow… I happened to be playing with my stove and I remembered watching this video a year ago and thinking I offered you spare parts since you’re an aficionado of these old stoves. Quite sad to see that. I never got a response. 🤷♂️ still I hope you’re doing well, my friend.
You may have the pip assembly in backward. I think the spring will point down toward the bottom of the fount and the pup faces up inside the pump. Also did you replace the spring with a new one? If you got them mixed up or just didn't replace it then this could be the problem. You may have to give it a little stretch. Thanks for stopping by and God bless.
Old Coleman parts has most any parts you need and you can find some on Ebay as well. Generally you won't need any parts to get these things running. Just a good cleaning is all you need and some neatsfoot oil for the leather pump cup. Thanks for watching and God bless. www.oldcolemanparts.com/
Thank you for this video, but I need instruction on the generator, repair and replacement, and my pickup tube may be an issue. Would love to see a video on that. So far for every 1950 video I seen the focus is only on the pip and spring housing. .... it helps, but is not complete. Thanks tho
Thank you. I haven't had the opportunity to find a M1950 that needed anything more than a pip and spring. Kind of busy now but I I get a chance I will try to tare one completely down on video. Thanks for watching and God bless.
The generator should be a really easy repair. Same procedure as on most lantern generators it's just short and stubby. It has a roll of brass mesh instead of paper packing. Just heat and quench multiple times until you can get the inside out. You should be able to boil it in vinegar and spray it with carburetor cleaner too clean it.
Old Coleman parts has everything you need to get it running. You may as well get the complete rebuild while you're at it. I will try to post a link below but no grantees that Google doesn't flag it. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Yes. The M1952 was built to boil water and boil it fast, and that's all it will do. If you want a military stove that will simmer, you might look for the older 520. Although it's not meant to simmer, you can tame the heat with the tip cleaner. Thanks for watching, and God bless.
Yeah I know. I've been told time after time but old habits are really hard to break I have been doing a little better about wearing them but I'm still struggling from time to time Thanks for watching and God bless.
Is that the same sort of pump that's on my old Kampcook stove? getting fuel back through the pump. I took it apart, but it all looked alien to me...haaha May have to be one of your fall jobs.....lol

I so appreciate the knowlege you are sharing with is. Great video.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch.
God bless
Your video was very helpful thank you
Thanks for watching, and God bless.
Those two units sound great running. Very smart use of space for storing extra parts on the Rogers unit. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and God bless.

Good to hear.
Great little stoves for a quick boil but not so great for a simmer.
Like you said a jet engine. 🤣 Thanks for watching and God bless.
Great Video!
Thank you sir.
God bless
question, have head of people using a cap full of in tank carb cleaner to clean out generators, what do you think?
I have never tried it myself but it won't hurt anything. I have sprayed it through check valves to clean them without removing them before I got a tool and left it in the fount with no issues. Not sure how well it works for the generator
Great video, thank you very much. Any idea where I can get a replacement pump gasket and a new leather for my Roger stove?
Old Coleman parts has everything you need.

Nice video. I got a rebuild kit from Colman but when I pump it fuel comes out the pump handle dose a rubber seal go on top of the nipple and spring
You may have the pip assembly in backward. I think the spring will point down toward the bottom of the fount and the pup faces up inside the pump.
Also did you replace the spring with a new one? If you got them mixed up or just didn't replace it then this could be the problem.

Alright very nice! That must have been quite valued in the field, light and a hot meal on a cold day.
My thanks to all military.
These were designed to boil water and boil it quickly but not so great for a simmer.
Thanks for watching and God bless.
any ideas on where i can get all of the parts to rebuild my stove old coleman does not show for sure what i need thanks

@@colemanrestorationsrepair4171 Thank You
I'm going to need some help with mine, I can't get mine going
What's the problem? Pm me on Facebook
Robert my m1950 burns great on full but it has no simmer. Is that normal?
Yes. The M1952 was built to boil water and boil it fast, and that's all it will do.
If you want a military stove that will simmer, you might look for the older 520.
Although it's not meant to simmer, you can tame the heat with the tip cleaner.
Thanks for watching, and God bless.
Thanks for the introduction. But what have you done with your hands old man?
Always use gloves.
Yeah I know. I've been told time after time but old habits are really hard to break I have been doing a little better about wearing them but I'm still struggling from time to time
Thanks for watching and God bless.
Hi, would you consider selling it or any other ones ? Thanks in advance
Let me take a look in my collection, and I will let you know. I just got rid of one and am not sure if I have any more I want to part with.
Is that the same sort of pump that's on my old Kampcook stove? getting fuel back through the pump. I took it apart, but it all looked alien to me...haaha May have to be one of your fall jobs.....lol
Yes. Very similar setup if I'm not mistaken.
i know i need a new pump housing seal mine is dry
You can find them at old Coleman parts and Ebay.
God bless.
