Ok reckon I got the second one working pretty good. Nice thing about msr is that no matter how old the model the replaceable parts like o rings fit all models.

This second msr comes with a gentile campfire story that in its last trip (a camping version of the Camino de Santiago) we had a number of days where we couldn't get fuel so the aforementioned paint thinner was used for a while. When we hit civilisation we had a night in one of those great European campgrounds that are more resort than campground. I took the opportunity to service this abused msr as it wasn't pressurising well - as I was cleaning it the little ball bearing thing that acts as a valve it shot out about 20 metres across the campground. I spent hours and hours looking for the little fker in the grass to no avail. Next morning a neighbouring Dutch Christian couple introduced themselves and we exchanged life stories and breakfast. In amongst it all I mentioned my msr (I was pretty hung up about it so it didn't take much to bring it into the conversation) to them upon which the lady jumped up and pulled out the ball from her caravan and said is this what you mean? Must have shot through their window or open door.
