I tried to look at the manual, but didn't see one online. However, the design looks very similar to my Optimus Nova.

This problem could be due to several causes. Make sure you are using fresh fuel-white gas of some kind for starters. Old fuel could have some water condensation mixed with it. First, clean the jet using the jet cleaning tool that is built into the multi-tool. It may be that simple. If that doesn't solve the problem, next thing is to dismantle the fuel line and see if the stove has an inline filter. If so, pull the filter out and run the stove without it. If it is like my Nova, the filter is in the end of the fuel line where it attaches to the valve. If that works, then replace the filter.

My Nova acted up recently on a winter trip and once I removed the filter, it ran fine. I just left mine out. I suspect mine iced over, but who knows.

If these two fixes don't solve the problem, you may have to remove the jet as well and see if it is clogged. The manual should show you how to dismantle the stove.
