Some help for maintenance, other canister stoves are quite similar taken down.

As far as can be taken apart, note the jet has a bit of fiber fluff under the head of the jet as a filter. The fuel valve adjusting needle is pinned in the valve body.



WindPro apart. Again the needle is pinned into the valve body. The fuel line does have a standard MSR stainless steel cable inside but has no way to remove it for cleaning.

Jets in both unscrew and can be cleaned with the MSR jet tool from their liquid stove kits. The MSR pump oil works well as a lube for the o-rings and washers.

I have soaked both in CLR for cleaning in the past. Rinsed with hot water, sprayed with CRC silicone lube, and test burned to clear residues. Both still work like new.

A little upkeep works for even the simplest burners, but some environments as salt air beaches may require more frequent cleaning.

You are a wealth of knowledge. I have been visiting this site for a short time and often read your appropriate helpful post. It seems every time I feel I have something to add you have already covered it so well my only comment could be (+1). Your user name should be Alexa. Thanks

Thanks TC.
Just paying back with what I can, or much time little going on! This was a bit more detailed response to a question in another thread.

What does the forceps do?

Inserted into air holes to unscrew the tube, a narrow punch would also do.
I found the forceps first!

This is great info, Butthead, thanks for putting it up.

Thanks BH! As we are headed out in two days I think I will book mark this for arrival back home . I can f *** up maintenance pretty well and its hard enough dodging storms to load gear and boats now. They are working and I will give them another salt air bath at which time they WILL need some attention more than lubing.
