[Philmont] Need some stove help

Keith,

DON'T pitch it out. My SM just had his overhauled at the factory for just
about nothing. I'll post details as soon as I talk to him, as I have one in
need of repair, as well.

>One of our MSR Whisperlight stoves gave us trouble on our trek this summer.
> Naturally it was fine when we flight tested it before we left. It burned
>with a weak flame, like you'd expect if it were partially stopped up. It's
>a "shaker jet" model, about 5 or 6 years old. First time I've had trouble
>with an MSR stove.

>Here's what we've tried:
>
>1. We shook it. We could hear the cleaner rattling around in the jet.
>2. We cleaned the jet orifice with the needle that comes with the
>maintenance kit.
>3. We changed fuel and fuel bottles.
>4. We pulled the cable out of the fuel line, and ran it back and forth in
>the line to try to break up any crud that might be in there.
>5. We completely disassembled the stove, cleaned it, and reassembled.
>6. When none of this helped, we switched pumps with an identical unit.
>The good stove still works, the bad stove still doesn't.
>
>I'm really tempted to toss it in the dumpster, but that old "scout is
>thrifty" thing keeps nagging me.

>Anybody have any suggestions?
