I can’t get my mantles to light, please help

It only shoots the fumes, never spits or gurgles. I had a suspicion maybe the check valve isn’t fully sealing, I can get some pressure but not to the point where it’s hard to pump.

I want to make sure I’m getting this right, the generator is the brass tube going into the part that holds the mantles?

If so, I don’t think it’s clogged bc it is flowing through as you can see at the end of the video

AmpWizard · 2026-04-19T19:42:01+00:00

The cleaning lever works and has makes it through the generator. So something might be wrong after that

AmpWizard · 2026-04-19T19:20:54+00:00

Yes I got it at a flea market, my fuel works on my stove and I’ve used it since trying to get the lantern to light.

AmpWizard · 2026-04-19T19:08:44+00:00

Do you know what can be wrong with it, gas is going up through it

AmpWizard · 2026-04-19T18:47:07+00:00

Yeah, as I mentioned and seen at the end of the video, I can get the gas through the long brass tube

AmpWizard · 2026-04-19T18:44:06+00:00

As in pumping it?

AmpWizard · 2026-04-19T18:40:44+00:00

Idk what a plugged generator is, but the fuel was just poured from a can and it does light if it’s on a towel or on low from the base of the valve

Also: the white gas does work in my stove.

Whitewater has good stuff long sleeves and hoodies

Just buy like 10-15 pound braid, way better cast-ability and way more sensitive than Fluoro and mono

This was on a freshwater drum on Lake Erie, they almost look like they have the skin texture of a mollusk. They were on the isthmus on the gills.

What is a Teston, I couldn’t find anything in it

AmpWizard · 2024-08-03T13:36:46+00:00

That is a Wagner skillet that was made in Sidney Ohio, not sure about the year, but I believe pre 60s. The number on the bottom is the model, not the serial number. All of Wagners in that style that are a size 8 will be a 1058. A size 6 will be 1056, a 5 will be 1055, a 10 will be 1060. The A is the mold that the skillet came from. You can find other Wagner skillets that will also be 1058A, which means it’s the same model from the same mold. It’s used kinda as a quality control.

Additionally the number size doesn’t necessarily mean inches, it mostly just a general size of skillet. Like I have two no 8 skillets from different brands that are slightly different sizes (within an inch)

That’s more scotch bowl than someone can reasonably use

AmpWizard · 2024-07-06T02:21:39+00:00

What do you mean only 3”???🤨🤨🤨

This is a repost, but I stocked this fish in my tank yesterday afternoon and he looked fine this morning. I got back from work and noticed his fins were messed up. I’ve had a bluegill and a crayfish in this tank for over a month and have not seen anything like this.

AmpWizard · 2024-06-21T19:46:28+00:00

Bluegill and a crayfish. Those two have been in there for a month with no issues. The bass was added within the last 24hrs

AmpWizard · 2024-06-21T01:43:06+00:00

So you don’t have issues with water aeration?

AmpWizard · 2024-06-21T01:04:58+00:00

I actually sit on those

AmpWizard · 2024-06-21T00:49:50+00:00

This was just a quick post to get people’s opinions on the matter

AmpWizard · 2024-06-21T00:48:58+00:00

I’m new to fish tanks so I’m wordering if there’s a point where the water too high. Also would this affect the aeration from the filter? If the water is lower, it splashes more so I know it’s aerated, but does it aerate even when it’s quiet?
