@kman20022 You dont need the pump with the special filler cap to do a preheat its way over kill unless your in freezing snow in a high altitude its just way to uneccary. Hand warming is a bit of a stretch your right. But to pump it just to get a tiny bit of fuel to spit out the jet is silly.. Just take a bit of fuel past or the best option a eye dropper of Alcohol to prime the pan with "Also wont leave black soot" all over your stove. This guy above put paper in prmer pan! Stay out of my camp.

Nobu, you use too much fuel for preheating. You could have started about 5 Svea 123's with the same amount of fuel. I can tell that you filled the fuel tank with too much fuel, therefore reducing the airpocket. Svea needs a certain minimum air space, in order to generate pressure. Fill only up to the bottom of the fuel fuel spout. And have the jet replaced. It is way to enlarged. That is why you are getting yellow and long flame. The stove chuffs, because there is too much fuel.

B.S. I camped and climbed with one of these things for years. No effing way body heat would pre heat it. The best thing was the after market pump that let you pressurize the tank so raw fuel would squirt out and run down into the fuel cup so yo ucould light it and start the process. I credit my little Svea with saving a life from hypothermia on a mountaintop.

Cupping it in your hands is a recognized way to heat the fuel...takes too long but will do it. The pump is easy...but you have to take off the screen...I've been dumping fuel on it and torching one almost 30 years (the same stove for 30 years) with no problems...A grass fire every now and then, but no stove problems. When it's cold out I'll prime it twice and it'll run better. Once you have heard a Seva, you will always know the sound.

more amateur 123 stove lighters. Kid, check out Colin Fletcher's book The Complete Walker and do it right.

Priming involves raising the temperature of the stove metal and fuel to the boiling temperature of the fuel. You can't come close to this temperature with mere body heat.

Seems to be a touch of overkill in the priming of the stove. Just a few drops of fuel in the indentation at the top of the tank would be sufficient. It's possible to prime the stove by just cupping it in your hands using the heat generated by your body. Using it at home it can also be primed by immersing it in hot water which is also a good way of detecting pressure loss through washers.

Have to agree, no need for the fuel to be poured all around the tissue. I used this stove in Canada during the winter and I would use paper bits under the canister to preheat it and build some pressure. Then, open it just a tad and fuel will fill the little ring, light it, wait and go. However, I don't think he would have blown anything up. Its kinda designed for that type of priming. I miss that sound... Have to light it up again.

What are you thinking starting that stove like that??????????? gonna blow your house up???? Also if it is flaming like that let it warm up a few before cranking it up......I have had one for 20 years with no probs but I use a MIDI pump.
