Hi, i have just purchased a coleman northstar lantern i've followed the set up instructions but when i fire it up it works fine for about 10 seconds and then starts giving off a high pitched noise!

What have i done wrong and does anyone know how to sort it out.

Your help will be much appreciated.

for it to work as it should it needs a pre heat before trying to light it, a tilley lamp preheater for a few pounds of e bay  will do the job perfectly.

if the cap was leaking it would not light at all.

dont use un leaded petrol, only use white gas, it burns better ,longer and cleaner.
