good stoves but terrible pumps,
This review is from: MSR MSR Fuel Pumps (Misc.)
MSR has always made great lightweight stoves but have made terrible pumps. I have been through three generations of pumps. The first generation came apart on a winter trip scattered fuel everywhere and set the snow on fire. Tabs holding the pump handle broke off. The second generation also breaks tabs but at least it didn't set me on fire. It also simmered well. The third generation (shown here) switched to a rubber cup instead of leather so it siezes in hot desert weather. You have to oil it often. The check valves fail easily. It will not simmer. Nor does it turn off properly leaving the stove burning at a low level. You have to blow it out to be sure. It also has weak plastic threads that strip easy. It no longer has an O ring on the bottle so it will eventually leak in your pack. The second generation pump was the best of a bad lot but this new one is worthless.

1st Gen was MUCH better,
By Victor (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MSR MSR Fuel Pumps (Misc.)
No metal plunger shaft is a crucial design flaw. MY original worked for a couple of decades. now plastic takes all the human torque with each stroke = after a few trips it's not smooth. Also the flame adjustment is gone unless you have a simmerlite.
What a great way to de-volve an otherwise fine product by making it cheaper and plasticky. Lame decision IMO. MSR made better products in the 80's when users were still involved in the design.

This review is from: MSR MSR Fuel Pumps (Sports)
The pump is not the lightest on the market compared even to MSR's original pump model which has worked fine for me the past six years. It also claims to have "superior flame control" which may only be true if you using it with the SimmerLite. I used it with a WhisperLite Internationale and it had absolutely no control other than full blast, or off. Save your money if you're just trying to update your stove.
