A must have kit for your MSR stove. It provides all the parts you need to make your stove burn like new.

I just recently bought my whisperlite stove and I haven't had any issues with it but I bought this kit to take with me on my next journey. It seems to have a little bit of everything in case something goes wrong while I'm out there. Very light and compact, it will be easy to stow away and hopefully not have to use!

I used my whisperlite stove for two seasons without carrying any sort of service kit in the backcountry.. all it took was one weekend trip with a broken stove to make me never leave home without a service kit.. This has everything you need to tune up an old stove and perform just about any required maintenance you may need to conduct in the field. I would HIGHLY recommend this kit!

This kit has everything to keep your stove running. I didn't do a gear check on my way to Yellowstone and Grand Teton this summer and guess what one of the gaskets was worn down on my MSR Dragonfly and it was leaking gas. I have two stoves so it wasn't an issue. When I got home I ordered this kit and followed the directions to replace all the seals and the issue was fixed. This msr stove was my first one at 20 years old, I'm now 42. This stove will probably outlive me.

While you never want to have to field repair an item, it happens. Be prepared, keep your stove rocking for years.

I got the Expedition Service Kit for my 6 year old Whisperlite that still works perfectly, but figured I might as well have the kit handy in the event that I ever actually need it. It comes with just about every small part on the stove, including a new jet and all of the small seals. With this kit, there's no doubt that my Whisperlite will last decades.

This kit has everything you could really need to clean up your stove. I don't really want to carry it with me for shorter backpacking trips(even though it is light and relatively compact) and may create a mini-repair kit for those situations but this is great to keep things working well. Your MSR stove will last FOREVER if you take good care of it and this kit helps you do that!

Hey I have had my SimmerLight since it came out back in what 2004 or so maybe earlier. One have never cleaned it shame on me shame shame. So I lost the cleaning kit. Well it was so dirty I didn't even want to touch it because the back on the bottom of the stove would get all over everything. So I bought this kit and clean it the fist time and wow; this kit has it all and it is super light weight. I couldn't believe it even has the instruction on every little part and a update part for the old valve. Over all buy it because that stove will last forever if you take care of it.

This is a very complete kit. It is something you want to have just in case your stove has problems on the trail. It is one of those pieces of gear you really don't want to have to use but if you do you are glad you have it.

When you're actually somewhere a stove is necessary or replacement would take days--- more than a day out, or in the third world, having spare everything in one spot makes life easier. Fuel in some parts of the world is crap, and you'll be glad to have an extra jet and the wrench to rebuild a stove every night. Only wish would be a self repairing system.

This will be close to the review that I posted for the MSR replacement fuel pump, so to quote myself: "In 1801, Eli Whitney started producing firearms with interchangeable and replaceable parts. In modern times, MSR produces stoves with interchangeable and replaceable parts, utilize this feature. Parts will go bad (eventually)." $30 to fix your stove? An absolute STEAL in my opinion. This kit lives in my gear box for as I quote myself again "those "oh sh!t" moments" in your gear's life. MSR makes a quality product and gives you the option to fix things on your own. It's not hard either! Buy this kit and save yourself the headache of a broken stove! *Note: Always test and inspect your gear thouroughly before ANY trip, an extra few minutes of planning is better than a miserable experience!

nothing is worse than not being able to cook dinner after a long hike. i was stuck without a working stove at garibaldi lake until a neighbor lent me his repair kit, and i had the stove working again in 10 minutes. AWESOME.

My 22 year old whisperlite , just this season developed a leak in the extreme cold. This kit completely upgrades your old stove , and I especially like the priming cup sock that is new. ( old models didnt have this ) 20 more years of blowtorch !

This kit has more pump-related parts that your stove will need over & above the annual maintenance kit. It includes the essential rubber pump valve ball & spring that should be checked annually due to fuel exposure. The fuel line cable should also be inspected on an annual basis. Lubricate rubber parts with silicone grease. Don't have a fuel blow out like me because I didn't replace a simple o-ring.

Well, you will be with this kit if your stove breaks down in the middle of Patagonia. It's got everything you need to get our stove going again if something breaks. Be a Boy Scout. Be prepared!
