We took ours out this weekend, after a winter in the shed, and something is not quite right!  I thought it would be prudent to have it serviced, as neither OH or I are technically minded!  Does anyone know who would do this?  We live in South East Essex.

All help gratefully received!

Normally we pump it, turn the little lever thingy, turn the knob on and light.  When the flame is established we turn the lever round and adjust the flame with the knob. 

This time the flame went barmy.  Would not adjust and it looked like the flames were going back up the pipe  - heading for the petrol tank.  We tried a couple of times and then gave up.

I love this stove and it has never given us a moments jip before so I would like to sort it asap.

Thanks your info.

Fourth attempt ...

Thank you ever so much guys.  I will try these at the weekend. 

What I also noticed was that the fuel appeared to still be being pumped through as when I turned the knob to off the flame was still burning on the burners. 

It's normal for the flame to keep burning on for a little bit once turned off. It's just burning up the last little bit of fuel coming through

HAHAHA  This is more than a little while after! 

I will use your instructions to the letter and hopefully it will work properly!  It is about 3 years old so it needs some tlc I suppose.  Thanks for the 'support'! lol xx
