Coleman Stove Model 425 Teardown Maintenance Rebuild and Leak Repair

Today we have a Coleman stove model 425 Series E For teardown, cleaning, maintenance, and rebuild. Also, the fuel valve is leaking and will need to be addressed. The fuel tank was not only disassembled and cleaned but also powder coated due to the poor state of the paint. The whole fuel valve is disassembled as the packing is also to be replaced. The packing was purchased at oldcolemanparts. This model uses the small valve stem packing

It is rare to find someone who has the mind of an engineer, skill with a camera, and great command of clear, precise, English. This would have been enjoyable even if I did not own such a stove (and an old, single-mantle lantern, that still works great after forty years). Thank you!

South Carolina girl here. I’ve had this video saved for about a year now, and it took Mean Helene for me to finally watch it start to finish, and fix the old Coleman stove that wasn’t working properly. The storm caught me off guard, but it only took out power for me for 9 hours, but many neighbors are without. So thanks to your helpful instructional video, I finally have something that can help my neighbors. Bless you for assisting me in this catastrophe!

Excellent video. Just bought a 45 year old stove like this . Glad there is people like yourself that makes these videos

I have an old Coleman stove that I would like to disassemble and clean up so I have watched at least a dozen videos over the last few days. Without a doubt, this is the most informative "how to" video I have found. Thanks for being so thorough & clear in explaining the parts, clean up & repair process, and proper storage.

Ditto on all the positive comments. I thought I was Mr. Fix It. Top notch!

I’m in the midst of tearing down and rebuilding a Coleman 413F stove . Your video ( I’ve watched numerous ) is by far the BEST !! I can now continue with the rebuild with a lot more confidence!👍👍 Thanks .

This is by far the best how to video I’ve seen on YouTube on anything ever! Thank you very much for taking the time to do such an amazing job at explaining, showing and demonstrating the process

Excellent video demonstration...I inherited 2 of these from my late father in law, been sitting for at least 6 years. Been scared to mess with them, but after this I'm comfortable with getting them back into usable condition. Thank you for excellent demo on complete teardown

[craigmoritz]

Totally the BEST how-to video I have ever seen on YouTube. No waisted monolog, great tips, every detail covered, good camera work, editing and audio. Thank you!

[emilymcfadden]

So great to see & hear a lucid, logical, eloquent disertation. Well done! These are great SHTF stoves. Everyone should aquire one for camping, winter storm power outages.

This video saved me from buying a whole new stove. Got a 50 year old stove from my mom that hadn't been used in at least 25 years. It wouldn't pressurize but it just needed a few drops of oil in that little opening in the pump! Cleaned it up and it's working great! Thank you!

Excellent video, thank you for posting it.
Just got down a 425E from a shelf in the garage where it has been sitting for 30+ years. The tank had some coleman fuel in it. It was my folks which I inherited. Oiled the pump (leather cup) and emptied the old fuel into a can. Found an excellent YT video (this video!) that shows how to test the tank and valves before you put fuel into the tank. My tank & valves tested OK. Then filtered some of the old fuel thru a paper coffee filter back into the tank, pumped it up and it fired right up and ran great. Pretty amazing after 30+ years of storage. Brought back childhood memories of camping & cooking.

Fantastic in-depth video on the proper maintenance of these old stoves.

Thank you for helping people keep these things going. The modern day Coleman products are no-where near as good as this era.

Thanks I have my Grandfathers old 425B I plan on restoring. This is going to be on repeat in my garage for sure.
