In reply all:

Had mine about 2 years mostly run on unleaded and has been sweet the whole time.

However, it has recently been giving me some greif. The jet keeps getting blocked and even when I can get it going (after much pricking with the needle) it doesn't stay lit for long and is low on power.

I've tried taking the jet out and cleaning it thoroughly and cleaning in the jet housing as well. Makes little or no difference. Taking stove apart further to clean the lines, serevice etc doesn't seem obvious......

any helpful suggestions much appreciated

Cheers

Mark
In reply to The Mole: Have you unscrewed the needle valve and cleaned that out?

In reply to The Mole: Some times the pipe between the pump and the stove gets cloged up with the dirt in unleaded petrol try running it on Coleman fuel for a bit it burns much cleaner and helps keep the pipe clean. Also once you have finished using the stove don't turn it off using the valve simply turn the bottle the other way up so off is facing upwards and just put a little coleman fuel with each bottle of unleaded it helps a little. Hope this helps
