That’s a beauty brother! Some folks ask a lot of money for lanterns, but the fact is, there are tons of them out there and unless it’s a rare one, they sell pretty cheap. You can carefully take off the generator and clean it. That funnel is cool!

Hi. Rotate the tip cleaner lever a few times. Set it pointed down. Be sure tank cap is tight. Pump up 30 strokes on the pump, close the pump, open valve wheel 1/4 turn, wait til you hear it "spit", and light it. Open valve completely when mantles burn bright.

Tip cleaner? Can I do that without ruining the mantles?

@@johnpsorgiip cleaner is the little bent metal wire thing that spins around on the opposite side of the lantern as the valve wheel. It is bent so,that you can spin it to clean the generator jet. Make sure it is pointing down when you light the lantern or else the fuel won’t flow properly through the generator.

The Coleman 220's are very common, especially the Coleman 220J models. $20 is a very fair price for what you have - I have found them brand new in the box for even less. I would hang on to it if I were you. I have a couple Sears lanterns (made by coleman) that are getting up there in price. I'm surprised that this didn't light for you. Maybe take the pump out & re-oil the leather cup on it - you might just have a pressure issue with the leather drying out which is super common.

You said you replaced the rubber gasket in the fuel cap with an O ring you really should replace the gasket with another gasket. You may not be getting proper pressure in the font. Before taking it apart I would turn the tip cleaner a few times try to light it and if that doesn’t work replace the fuel.
