My Lantern is starting to make a howling noise when i turn it up to full,and its only giving out about a 1/2 of potential light as a guess..

Ive changed two mantels
Changed the fuel...

Any Ideas,My guess maybe blockage somewhere,Cannot find my manual,if anyone knows of a site to download it would be great..

Cheers

The gas generator may be stuffed, they are available as a spare part.

I only use shellite or Coleman fuel, in my light and stoves, no problems in over 15 years (touch wood)

For spare parts, contact Coleman customer service on 1800 224 350 or +61 2 8762 5000

Your local camping shop should carry some Coleman gear.

Had the same problem a few years ago. Replaced the gas generator(found at local camping store) & lamp has worked well ever since.
The lamp doesn't get much use now as I find 12v lights easier to use & cart around.
Regards.
