Now is a good time to do some yearly maintenance on your stoves and lanterns.
add and little motor oil to the pump well to keep the leather or neoprene cup lubricated.
Make sure the fuel cap gasket does not have any cracks. Most of the pressure leaks will come from a bad gasket.
Take a can of compressed air and blow out the mantle pipes and burner plates on the stove. Add some fresh fuel to them and burn them for about 30 minutes. If your stove burner plates are not burning evenly take them off the burner and soak them in Coke or metal rescue. Let them sit for a few hours. Dry off and re-install. Light stove to make sure the issue has been resolved.
If anybody needs any help with a stove or lantern just let me know. I will try to help you.

Figured this would be a good place to sell these. My parents cleaned out the attic and have these. Figuring from late 70's or early 80's. Have original boxes too but the boxes aren't in the best shape. Not sure if these were ever used and if so it wasn't much.
