Geez I'm clever.

Well at least you did something worthwhile. I just sat around all day, yelling at kids and watching posts getting deleted by the bucket loads.

Yeah, dirty Gas, just like the petrol and diesel we have to put up with

please refrain from using.
jim is a dick head.
people might get confused lol
cheers

I know there was a thread the other day about changing the way this forum works and I stayed well out of it.

Jimbo, this thread is a perfect example of why I LOVE this site exactly as it is.

I've logged on tonight and started browsing through all of the threads since I'd been on last. Not just looking for topics I want, but anything interesting. Then I come across a strange thread about how you are saying how clever you are. I have a read and right there in front of me is a possible solution to perhaps why one of MY jets isn't working. The one which we always use coincidentally.

I'm off now to blow the bejeezers out of it with the 240V compressor and see if I can fix it. We were just about to buy a new stove too.

Jimbo, you really are clever (at least for the moment anyway.)

Cheers,

Smocky.

Foreward:

Jim or Jimbo to his near and dearest entered the world of 4wding and camping with a burst of bright light late in 2004. His Hyundai Terracan continues to astound the purists who believe the real 4wding can only be accomplished in large lifted trucks with huge tyres driven by macho types seeking mud and rocks. His onroad camper is fitted with the creature comforts of home including an astounding amount of illumination and cooking appliances. He has become well known for his in the field tests including a most thorough assessment of solar power and is not afraid to say what he feels. His campoven chicken has to be tasted to be believed and his ability to air thaw frozen meat is a sight a to behold. His knowledge of the the solar system is amazing and his love for his fellow man is admirable.

In short, this book "Jimbo - Geez I'm Good" is a fantastic read of one mans effort to be taken seriously in a world where so much crap is written by so many.

Enjoy !

Mrs. Al

[Mrs. Al is currently writing her own book, how to survive camping with 2 small children whilst one hand is stirring the pot and the other is moving the solar panel]

"I'm so impressed with myself I think I'll write a book about me.

Anyone like to write the "Foreword". "

It was dark, and bullets were flying overhead. Corporal Smith was wounded, and the Sergeant was dead. Private Jimbo crawled over to Smith, and said "Corp, what if we aim our compressor at the overhead jets in the sky?"

"By Jingo Jimbo!" Said Smith..........

Other forumites may add on from here.......

Foreword

"BOOOOM".........................................!

Jimbo staggered out of the haze of acrid smoke, dust and debris.

As the smoke lifted, bits of a home made camper trailer could be seen scattered all around the clearing. A severely charred Hyundai Terracan with its tail gate open, stood under the trees. A solar panel hung from a coolibah tree dangling there with chords flapping in the breeze. A Waeco fridge lay on it side with lights blinking and its contents thrown out. A faint but audible sound emerged from the fridge.

" Exterminate, exterminate' a small voice said.

It looked like a war zone. Jimbo checked himself over. Arms...OK, legs...OK, back...OK, torso....OK, head....well!!! But he had survived, thank goodness.

"I will Never Never Never ever smoke again while working on my gas stove" said Jimbo wistfully to himself. " I think I'll go home and write a book."

And this Dearly Beloved Reader(to quote Rudyard Kipling) is the start of a book of diatribe and verbal diarroeha in which Jimbo extolls the virtues of his foresight and experiments while emulating those who have gone before him and his greatest Hero, the All knowing, Russel Coight.

It is a MUST read

Hi Jimbo,

Had the same problem on Fraser over Xmas.

The answer for me was to boil the jet in vinegar for a few minutes.

The jet worked fine after that.

Jim,

Had the same trouble with my stove late last year, after traversing dusty (bulldust) tracks.

Temporary solution: Clean the jets which takes air pressure to do properly.

Permanent solution: Chucked the old stove and bought a Coleman. (no jets to block)

Just requires some lateral thinking mate.

Foreword: Well what can i say except that Jim like most campers and four wheel drivers has a gas problem. As an expert camper/4wheel driver he learned to cure his own gas problem pity it was only to do with the stove and not the other gas problem campers/4wheel drivers are afflicted with that is why I'm writing this from another city. :)
