My old MSR XGK (with the solid fuel line) required a change of jets from Coleman to kero, does your Whisperlite? Did you???

I'd love to host a show and tell for Houston/Texas area ETS members. We've set up meetings at local gun shows before but they are conductive to lighting stoves/building debris shelters/testing homemade generator systems/etc...

There are some great areas nearby wild areas that would be perfect for this sort of event. They are filled with edible plants and animals, safe water (bacteria but no chemicals) as well as the occasional dump pile to scavange materials.

Any of our Texas members interested?

OBG..
change jets??..the old MSR seemed to run on gas and kero
without changing anything..it came with another jet but i
thought that was a spare...i'll have to dig out the instruction sheet thats around "somewhere"..jet change on the
whisperlite???..it looks like the problem there was that
i was sold the wrong model...



this is the GK on kero..no jet changeing..the yellow
flame got more blue as the stove ran and heated up..

So, um, did it taste like fuel?


No, the pump cup doesnt come into contact with fuel, it generates the pressure inside the bottle.

The old style multistove fuels didnt have to change jets, just had to clean em if they burned crappy stuff. Until they came out with the shaker jet system. Its been so long since I've used my whisperlite...do they still use the shaker jet?

Amazing, my GXK had the different jets for different fuels. I gave it to my step-son, and he has it about a thousand miles away, so I can't go check right now...
