Hi guys,
I am trying to give my whisperlight to a buddy, but the pump seems dried out, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />I have to investigate it. No sense giving him a non-working stove because he might bring it camping with me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

A long time ago I talked to MSR and we discussed that it is impossible to overpump a whisperlight with a leather washer pump. SO I pumped my XGK actually, 500 times - same pump. I must say the fuel does not dribble out! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> its a fine spray which burns nicely.

P.S. Bill S and I had written a lot on the internet but never met in person until he invited me to an orienteering meet. Anyway he read my report of pumping 500 times and wondered "Is Jim Shaw a figment of the internet? Will I die trying this?" Bill and I have had some camping adventures of our own in the Sierras.
