I used the above stove from about 1963 to 1978, after which I converted to Trangia. I still have the stove. Recently I went on a long trip and the group decided to use MSR petrol stoves. Same thing as a primus but fiddly, with many moving parts. They did the job, and were economical on fuel, but far less robust than my old primus. I got it out after lying up 26 years and it fired first time. It boiled a pot of water as quickly as a modern MSR and I am now ready to throw the MSR in the buin. The primus does have a slight leak though, from the gasket at the base of the burner, an inch above the join that screws into the body. I am afrad to meddle without more information on how to fix it and where to get parts etc. I would love a complete spare parts kit really. Does anyone out there know how to fix it ?
