How much fuel did you use? Only supposed to pump 20-50. Red line is absolute max like if you pump it more you’ll break it 🤣 Trying pumping the tires on your car/bicycle to the max. You’ll have fun !! Lol
I found it simmers quite well but you do need the windshield in any wind when simmering but I make porridge with it and fry up eggs and bacon no problem.
The Soto Mika has so many O-rings that are points of failure. The O-ring of the fuel bottle pressure indicator failed, leaking fuel, and there is no replacement o-ring for it. Some forum posts from years ago wrote about receiving a replacement pump from Soto. However, Soto hasn't replied to me. The MSR dragonfly has very fine simmering control and is fully field serviceable with far fewer failures.
I have Primus OmniLite Ti, had to pump 10-15 times max, I guess your bottle must have been pretty empty that you needed that many strokes, crazy. I love my OmniLiteTi but this one, oh god that pump also with that knob instead of simple flipping the bottle.. priming looks very complicated as you need to go through full output, no real simmering it seems to be dieing out. On mine I just let some fuel out, prime few seconds cause small burner does not need long priming and I crank it up, nice blue flame. This one oh boy I am so glad I didn't get Soto hahaha
Good review. Man I got tired just watching you pump it. I had one and gave it to my brother. To much pumping for me. I like my Omnilite or dragonfly more.
Wow!!! Lots of pumping. Never seen anything like it.
Great review! Thank you!

I have the SOTO Stormbreaker (same pump) and I have never had to pump like that, was there only a tiny amount of fuel in the tank I wonder.
Ridiculous....250 strokes to pump it up to the red line...it’s a complete work out
Was all that pumping necessary?
It's so violent
thx! msr or optimys was my choice tills i saw this one...is there any

Its funtional tuning bottom on the pump is not durable.

Hello, what is the job of a small cylinder?
The stove is good at first when it works, but then the pump will fail and cannot buy spare parts needed.
Спасибо за обзор
I bought such stove with the same bottle for 152$ (incl. shipping) on ebay from Australia.
Red means bad....
Lost interest before priming finished 😴
