Eric, I have had no problems after "field repairs." I have found that
washing the stove parts in white gas removes the carbon build up. I think
the build up is what causes the few problems. For my money, the
Whisperlite is a great backpacking stove. I feel that with occasional
cleaning and a willingness to eat one-pot meals, it is very hard to beat.
 Hopeful
