I've had mine 30+ years! The valve on the plastic pump finally stripped this week up in the Sierra. I was still able to push/pull it carefully while turning and cook. :-) Thanks for the cleaning tips!
Thanks for the video man! It saved our almost lost dinner! First cleaning after 10 years. The stove wasnt any hot the last few times i used it and it completely working today. Did the cleaning as described and the stove is just going wild as i m typing this!
Great video!! I was cleaning my stove recently and I can't put back the cable from the fuel line and I don't have a clue of what to do, any advice? Any tip would be great
I use my whisperlite for more than 14 years now and it still works perfectly. I wonder if the brass of the fuel loop can worn out because of the continuous heating. Is it wise to replace the stove after a number of years?
It can wear out but usually it just anneals and softens if you can I would get a backup stove and backup parts I'm playing by another stove or 2 and I'm always on the lookout for parts
Hi. Thanks for the video. I wonder though what do you have in the bottle in order to clean the tube by pumping it out through the tube, is it a special cleaning product?
The wick is only needed when running kerosene/jet fuel and other heavier fuels. White gas, auto gas, and av gas will all run fine without a wick as they're more volatile and easy to light. If I expected brutally cold and windy weather I'd absolutely make sure the wick was there, but the original whisperlite and the modern non-international version has no wick.
Thank you for the informative video. Please omit the very distactive and annoying background sounds which made this presentation a failure. Great information, crap presentation.

thank you so much for this -- I've had my Whisperlite for over 10 years, and this got it going great just as I was about to give up on it --
Great video. I love my 20-year old MSR.
Well made video, helpful camera angles. Excellent information.
Xlnt! I had a clogged jet, and it worked better than it has in a long time. Ready for backpacking this weekend.

I noticed your stove doesn't have the wick. Can I use mine without the wick? Whisperlite international.
