just thought i'd let other MSR users that i bought this stove back in 1989 when i got into backpacking.
i was 17 back then and to me, this was a big deal as it was expensive
for a teenage student.
it's been working flawlessly ever since, provided one puts a little effort into it,
as i did change some gaskets on the pump as they had dried out.
BUT, they are readily available new even today, MSR should
get the recongnition they deserve for the timeless design and
compability.
MSR WhisperLite International Stove!
By
Timothy T.
I have used my the WhisperLite International for something like 20 years! From bicycle ?? camping ?? trips to Florida hurricanes ?? I used it for about three weeks straight when hurricane Charlie took out the power. About the only thing I have done to the stove is clean it maybe ?? every year or so and I think ?? the only problem I have had was I had to replace one little O-ring! That reminds me I have to replace the O-ring that I removed from the little service kit. I recommend that service ...kit I replaced that O-ring at night during a hurricane ?? power outage and all those O-Rings are special and your not going to find one when you roll into a campground at 02:00 ?? AM in the rain :cloud_with_rain: on your bicycle ?? and all you want to do is get something to eat and go to sleep ?? But if the stove needs an O-ring it is going to be cold Mountain House Chicken ?? Teriyaki ?? and a cold breakfast ?? So you need to get the service kit at least for peace of mind!
