Although the above lantern was originally purchased 1 year ago, I have only just started to use it this past weekend.
The fuel I am using is British Unleaded Petrol.
Unfortunateley the electic ignition is not igniting the mantle, I am having to light with a lighter. The lantern works fine when lit.
There is a good spark from the ignition. I have followed the instructions on how to light the lantern and also exceded the time stated.
I have changed the batteries to see if that was the problem, but that has not worked.
Can you plesae give me any advice on why this has happened, or how to solve the problem??

This will probably get me into trouble but I am convinced I am right: Solve the problem by taking it to the tip or giving it away to friends who like to go camping (which is what it was originally meant for). In many hundreds of night sessions I have never found the need for a lantern and believe that they spook many of the fish which come close in shore at night. I am quite sure in particular that they spook Dover Sole as I am quite successful at catching them but a friend who uses a lantern hasn't caught one in ten years although he fishes the same spots as I do. |
