Hey all,
I have a 92 300DA that has the alcohol/electric stove top. While out for my weekly run through the boat, I decided to try the stove. I filled it with just a pint of alcohol and it primed up just fine. Filled the preheater and burned it just fine. Lit the burner and got the blue flame like advertised. Turned to toss a paper towel in the garbage box and when I turned around the alcohol had leaked and was running into the bottom pan and had lit. I got it shut down quick and got the flame blown out. Then let the pressure out of the tank. I have read that the seals will dry out and need to be replaced if the stove isn't used. The PO said they had never used the stove, which I don't believe for one minute. I have searched high and low and can't find the rebuild kit or parts anywhere. So I turn to the all knowing that knows where all these types of things seem to be hiding. Anybody know of where to find these parts?
John
