Optimus Crux Stove
Original post
Has anyone here got an Optimus Crux stove and tried to dismantle it?
I have had one for about a year and a half and it went like a rocket when I first got it.
But now it has pettered out to the point where it takes 10 mins to boils a small billy of water. And that is with a new gas bottle.
I suspect there is a blockage somewhere and am not quite sure whether I should attempt to dismantle it.
I have emailed the agents here and he said he would ask Sweden about it (bloody hell).
Just got my stove sorted out and the man who fixed it was Kevin Devoy in Waihi Ph- 07-8639695
Kevin was the Optimus dealer in NZ for many years. He is now retired and not really looking for business, but he has the spares and the experience, plus he is willing to help out a tramper in distress.
Great guy
