[Philmont] Need some stove help

Good advice from Bob and others.
MSR does stand behind their products.

I loaned my three stoves out a couple of years ago
and when thery were returned they would no longer
create enough heat to make toast.

MSR repaire them at a very little cost.

>>One of our MSR Whisperlight stoves gave us trouble on our trek this

>>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?
