Before you spend $35 for a new pump, call Cascade Designs @ 1-800-531-9531. They are very understanding & might send you the replacement part you need. It's worth a shot! Don't get me wrong, I like MSR stoves & not only own four of them, but have been repairing them for quite some time. The all plastic pump they manufacture needs MUCH more TLC than say a Primus aluminum one. The Primus does weigh two ounces more but is bombproof. The original two piece, black & gray pump that came with my WhisperLite in 1988 still works like a champ but has required more maintenance. So the way I look @ it, your 1999 pump should still be working!

Yep...I would recommend buying a new pump. They run $39.95 and include a brand new windscreen. This new pump will enhance the performance of your stove as though it's brand new. Here's the link: http://www.backcountry.com/msr-fuel-pump
