I can't connect to Primus fuel can w/out fuel spraying out at base - what am I doing wrong? Stove appears to be threading properly.

you can't really do anything wrong since it just takes screwing in. its either the canister is bad or the store itself I would suggest getting another canister and see if it's doing the same thing

I am guessing this is a defect as not all users report this issue. I am one of the ones that did experience this problem though. I took my rotary tool with a grinding bit and wore down the pin that goes into the fuel canister. After lowering the pin slightly I no longer get any fuel spray.

Mine would let off a quick spray before I tightened it all the way. I would make sure it's fully connected, and if you're still getting a spray of fuel, try another canister. If it happens then too you might have a bad connection, maybe try to return the stove for a replacement?

I assume you are using a Primus propane bottle? Not sure what you meant by fuel can. If so, it should not spray out at all and would suggest sending it back for a new one. I have two and both have been excellent stoves with now problems (and no spraying).

Were you trying to connect the stove with the canister upside down or tipped to the side? The canister must be completely vertical(threaded connector up). When I attached/detached my stove with the canister, a very small amount of gas came out but stopped very quickly.

I had the same issue. There is a problem with the pin pressing on the fuel valve before the seal is made. I wasn't going to grind anything down so I sent it back.

I have had the same problem and I found out it happens the most when the fuel canister if full. Make sure to hole the canister so the threads are up as if the canister is setting on the ground when you thread it on. thread on slowly until you feel it getting tight then quickly turn it on to avoid excess spay. You will notice the difference that very little if any comes out.

It shouldn't be too much, but yes, there is a moment when a tiny bit of gas may spray out when the stove pierces the valve on the fuel tank. For me, it's not more than a fraction of a second...maybe try screwing it in faster?

Probably don't have it wired correctly. I used the instructions found here http://nordeastbrewersalliance.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/dual_stage_temp_controller_creation_instructions.pdf and have been using mine for over a year with not problems.

Did you fill the unit with salt and or feshwater first? You should fill the canister first - do not run it dry. Then use prime pump or a power fire up.

check a couple things. spark plug wire is connected, fuel dial turned on, power switch on, oil level is good, and proper gas in engine. this should work.

I have had the problem once or twice...Check and make sure your fuel mixture lever is fully up that is usually the culprit for me.Good Luck hope this helped you :0)

I have a similar item and it connects perfectly. Remember that the threading is backwards so you have to twist it on backwards. Make sure the tank valve is turned off, so there is no tendency for the hose fitting to be pushed away due to gas pressure. I suppose you could have a very old tank with one of the smaller fittings, if so, you should upgrade. I hope this helps.

#1 is the correct fuel mixture! These are extremely sensitive to that and will self destroy over time as mine did. The only way I could get it to start from day 1 was to pump that priming bulb about 20 times...the clear tubing has to be free of air bubbles. Give it a shot!

Leslie may I ask you about this motor? I ordered it myself but ended up still having so many issues I bought a new pellet stove.

I do not know for sure. Remove the fuel filter and try. If it fixes the problem then you have a bad fuel filter. Maybe something is stuck in the fuel line going in to the carburetor. I used it to bypass my weed trimmer once to bypass the bad original priming system and it worked. I never seen this primer bulb installed in a weed trimmer before. If nothing fixes the problem You might have a defective primer bulb

Call manufacture tech support. Your unit may still be under warranty. Your could have a clogged fuel filter. Never leave old fuel in unit during none use months. follow manufactures storage instructions for none use periods.

Flip the fuel cut-off switch just above the red knob. Not sure how to fix the broken knob, though. May not need it I you use fuel cut-off switch for the same purpose?

I had a similar issue with a Rhino tank. However, mine would connect, but it leaked. I bought some yellow gas line tape and wrapped the connection on the tank 3 or 4 times - no more leak issues.

See other answers. Make sure you you use a fuel additive immediately. Otherwise, Husqvarna will not support their warranty. Did they add that to their user manual yet?

Clean the burner mechanism with rag and water where the flame comes from.that clogs,and affects the built in thermostat and causes it to do that.if that don't work then u need a new one

I have two of the Primus Classic Trail Stoves and have used Snowpeak Gigapower canisters as well as MSR canisters and both work just fine. I have not used Primus canisters as they are not available from my local outfitter.
