Checking the coleman site, there does not appear to be a rebuild kit.  However, parts are available, and don't seem to me too pricey.

Look under parts tab to the far right, have your model number handy.

The old, good ones are worth fixing.

The old Coleman laterns & stoves are the best ever made. If you have or find one don't let go of it. We still have our first lantern & double burner stove from back in the 60's.
Years ago we had problem's with our lantern while camping in Downeast Maine. Luck would have it we found an authorized Coleman repairman at a Aubuchon Hardware in Bar Harbor. This guy was fantastic. He could tell what was wrong with it by pumping it up and listening to the sound it made or didn't make. He told us that he was one of a few authorized Coleman repairman on the East Coast. He's the one that told me these old Colemans were the best ever made and " if you find an old Coleman stove or lantern that don't work, get it and he could fix it."
So each year when we head camping toward Acadia Natl. Park we sometimes bring along an older Coleman stove or lantern for one of our friends to get it repaired. We drop it off when we arrive and it's ready for us when we get ready to head home.

I've always had excellent service when dealing with Coleman. Parts are always shipped quick. I had a question on a lantern I have and they emailed me the .pdf manual and parts list. They're awesome to deal with.
I'll have to remember Aubuchon Hardware in Bar Harbor if we get up that way again.
