The MSR Whisperlite stove is a long time classic backpacking / camping stove that has stood the test of time. I recently acquired this one from a friend and it wasn't working quite right. So I decided to take it apart and clean it up to see if I could bring it back to life. In this video, I go through my step by step process on how I was able to revive this stove to work again. I plan to use this stove in the winter for some backpacking trips and I know it will be reliable as this stove is a beast. The stove uses white gas which is more hardy in colder temperatures and when you are boiling water for coffee on a cold winter morning, you want to make sure you can get the water hot with no failures. Even though the stove is not necessarily one to use on an Ultralight backpacking adventure, it is great to be able to use a classic. I highly recommend this stove.
