Cleaning an MSR Whisperlite

[@1ambulator]

Fantastic demo, thanks for putting it together. Bought my first Whisperlite in 1990. Excellent video. I use carb cleaner to clean the fuel line cable then coat it with mineral oil (baby oil) to lube it as I slide it back in. I start my stove with denatured alcohol which leaves no soot. When I turn off my stove I flip the bottle 180 degrees to move the pick up tube in the bottle to the opposite side of the bottle. As the bottle is laying down there is fuel on the lower part of the bottle and air on top. By flipping the bottle over the pick up tube is sucking in air. When the fuel in the fuel line is replaced with air the stove stops burning and the fuel line is empty, so, no fuel spattering when I take the fuel line off the valve.
