[Philmont] Need some stove help

I guess we did everything except contact MSR! I con't believe we didn't
think of that. That sounds like our best option.

Thanks,

>>>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?
