  • Today we have a Coleman stove model 425 Series E For teardown, cleaning, maintenance, and rebuild. Also, the fuel valve is leaking and will need to be addressed. The fuel tank was not only disassembled and cleaned but also powder coated due to the poor state of the paint. The whole fuel valve is disassembled as the packing is also to be replaced. The packing was purchased at oldcolemanparts. This model uses the small valve stem packing

    It is rare to find someone who has the mind of an engineer, skill with a camera, and great command of clear, precise, English. This would have been enjoyable even if I did not own such a stove (and an old, single-mantle lantern, that still works great after forty years). Thank you!

      That is so funny, you said single mantle lantern. I was at a flea market a day before a storm was to hit here in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada where I purchased a 23-year-old Coleman 286 that has never been out of the bow, styrofoam still around the glass, and a 425 Coleman stove that has never been turned on, but I was worried about dried up seals, leathers, etc., and here I am, making sure I don't burn the house down by lighting them up without educating myself first.
      I only hope that it is not too hard to find that valve seal for the gas valve on the 425. I assume all the seals on both units here are dried up and dangerous.

    I occasionally watch some now as a refresher.
    I have to say this video is the most thorough one ive seen of all. Thank u.
    One tip--i use very fine steel wool to wipe down the needles, tubes and brass prts. and then spray down with a cleaner.

    My grandfather recently passed away and he had one of these in storage. I took it thinking it was a propane stove and almost took it to the scrap yard thinking it was a piece of crap before I did some research on how it works. I thought it was the coolest thing. When I got home from work, I took it outside and with the old fuel inside and it being in storage for who knows how long it lit right up and worked perfectly. It's the 425B so I believe it's at least 60 years old. Can't want to pull it apart and get it cleaned up. Your video will definitely help. Thank you

    Excellent video, thank you for posting it.
    Just got down a 425E from a shelf in the garage where it has been sitting for 30+ years. The tank had some coleman fuel in it. It was my folks which I inherited. Oiled the pump (leather cup) and emptied the old fuel into a can. Found an excellent YT video (this video!) that shows how to test the tank and valves before you put fuel into the tank. My tank & valves tested OK. Then filtered some of the old fuel thru a paper coffee filter back into the tank, pumped it up and it fired right up and ran great. Pretty amazing after 30+ years of storage. Brought back childhood memories of camping & cooking.
