Barring defective parts or lack of bottle pressure: Have you followed step 4 of the instructions? The generator tube MUST be warmed first before the stove will work properly. I wait until I hear the (After)burner starts to roar before I open the valve.

I've got this stove & have never had any performance issues. It sounds like you might be having pressurization problems. First off lubricate the pump leather with mineral oil. If this doesn't solve your problem, change out all the rubber parts, o-rings, check valve ball & spring, fuel bottle gasket, etc. These are all found in the expedition repair kit. Clean out the fuel line with the cable by moving it in & out. Make sure you have clean, new fuel. Hopefully these suggestions will get your stove running to optimum performance once again.
