Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Sigg Tourist & Svea 123 Stove

Have a Sigg Tourist campstove with just a windscreen (pictured). In working condition. Used it for a weekend trip up in the Ventana Wilderness.

Also have a Svea 123 stove and cover. Needs repair.

Both for $65

Local pick-up near Oakland, CA or USPS shipping.

What does the Svea need and do you have the pump for it??? Thanks C.Moore

Don't know what it needs to work. It lights, but won't stay lit.

Svea 123 stoves don't have a pump.

They do have a pump but I think it is an option.

I stand corrected. Nonetheless, no pump

bump for a good buy!
I used a 123 with the full cookset for years backpacking, and it never failed me! I still have it and it still works!!!

It uses white gas/Coleman fuel and lights easy when cold!!

Up!

To the top folks!

The Svea 123 was my 1st BP stove. They may have come up with a pump later, but the early models all were self pressurizing. You start them by pouring a small amount of fuel into the depression around the burner base and lighting it to heat the stove. They could be a bear to restart if your tried to before they cooled enough to to allow you to vent the tank to equalize the pressure.
As to why it will not stay lit, I suspect the jet is clogged. It was part of the start up ritual to always clean the jet before starting the process. They provided a small metal tab which held a wire of the proper size to clear the jet. Later versions had a jet cleaner built in.
IMHO, they were, and still are a good stove. They are simple and durable...I still have mine. Good luck with your sale.
