MSR stove cleaning
Hi All
Ive a MSR Stove (think its a wisperlite, old version) bought it off a guy who used it for a few trips to Africa.
Anyway ive had it for around a year and used it about 5-6 times just to make sure its all working and messing around generally.
The other day took it on the bike for a 150mile ride and used it to cook some bacon (was very nice) but it started to burn very smokey while the burner was spitting all the time not really making a constant flame.
When i got it home a gave it a quick wash and unscrewed the jet (where the flame comes from) to find a wee small needle. Seeing this didnt want to break anything so put it back together again.
So how do you actually clean these stove to make they work properly or for a life time?
Can you strip them anymore than what i did?
Do you need to buy a service kit like the ones you find in a camping shop to service them?
I plan on using it for a 3month trip around Europe to cook at least 2 times a day so need it to be reliable and work properly.
