Coleman 400A stove

Description

White gas stove from legendary American company Coleman. This 400A model from 1989 has two different fuel valves. The red one for open and close and the longer black one for simmering of the flame. This last one is also called the Generator & regulator assembly. The later Coleman Feather 442 model only had the red lever. This model from the late 80’s has a slightly different starting procedure then the model 400 from the early 80’s. The red lever can be opened fully right from the start while the red lever on the early 80’s models need to be half opened while starting up in order to supply a fuel air mixture for pre-heating.

Stove burns on white gas such as Coleman fuel or Aspen 4T. Regular automotive fuel will probably also do the job but ruins the generator. Since these generator assemblies are no longer for sale, running the stove on regular pump fuel shouldn’t be done.

Condition: Superb condition. All stickers on the tank are still intact. Comes with original manual, stuff sack and additional spanner for tightening the flame adjustment lever in case it is leaking.

Note: Stove is in full functional order however starting can be temperamental (yellow flames). Once the stove is hot it burns with nice blue flames. Pre heating with alcohol poured over the burner head is advised.
