OK, so I received a used Coleman Xtreme today, bought a Powermax canister, and tried the stove. No go. :(
I shoved the canister in as far as it would go, turned it clockwise 1/8th of a turn (which is what the directions on the canister say to do). It didn't "click in" or anything like that, and the canister rotates freely in the valve assembly. I turn the valve; nothing happens.
Am I doing something wrong? Is the used stove no good? If I shove it in a mm or so farther, the gas flows when the valve is turned, but holding the canister in by hand while cooking is no good.
Any advice or ideas welcome.
Thanks!
