coleman tillylamp problem?

[tillylamp 1,940]

hi,

when i light my colemans petrol tillylamp up,it has flames coming through the mantles, from half way to maximum on the controls,it makes the mantles go a bit black and it doesnt put out the bright light like it should,its the one with 2 mantles,does any one know what the problem is or has anyone had the same problem and how do you fix it?

 

 

thanks tillylamp.

Sound like you've got some crap in the jets or you leaking air from somewhere.

hi 8shot,

it was well warm,i had been using it for about 2 hours when it almost went out,so i give it quite a few pumps and then the yellowish flames started to burn in the mantles and putting out know light? then every time i tried to turn up the control knob the flames got more and more,
