I have watched other people fiddle with theirs, and I can tell you that the MSR design is pretty simple and reliable.
In most any conditions, particularly in the cold, you have to "prime" the stove by releasing a bit of extra fuel and burning it below the burner. Kind of clumsy but it always starts. I have not tried this stove with anything but white gas, so I can't comment how it works with other fuels. Edit: Josh makes a good point about breaking the pump. It's kinda flimsy, but that's how you make something light. Also, because the pump mechanism is plastic, it will melt if you spill burning fuel on it.
Thanks to United Airlines, I had to buy another fuel bottle in Canada. Since then I've used it on numerous multi-day mountaineering adventures. Recently, the pump on the fuel bottle broke, but I got a lot of use out of it, so I'm not too disappointed. I've only burned white gas and kerosene with this stove. The kerosene burned a little dirty, but I think that's just the nature of the fuel. It's been good to me at elevations up to 18, feet and temps down below zero degrees F.
It blows away the other 2 stoves that I have owned. After that I bought one for myself and have been very happy with it in all sorts of conditions from desert, to alpine. Only issues when you first start using one of these is that idea of 'simmer' doesn't really exist with these stoves. They really only have two settings off and high, but you get use to it. It takes a little bit of work to simmer on but it is possible. In 3 years, I've never had a problem except with the pumps.
I have had 1 pump start leaking after about 10 uses and I still can't figure out where it's leaking. Several people had problems pressurizing the tank at 19,' on Aconcagua but I expect it had to do with moisture in the fuel.
I was too tired to mess with it to figure it out. Several climbing partners that I respect recommended it and after one use I figured out why. The stove was very solid during cold weather and altitude. It is easy to set up and operate.
I've only burned white gas in mine so I can't comment on other fuels. The stove took a little getting used to when it came to priming but it was easy to get the hang of.
Melted snow like a champ. I used mine for California 3 season backpacking and a few times on Shasta. Pros: - Burns just about anything. Cons: - Heavy and large compared to canister stoves.
If you absolutely have to use a liquid fuel stove, this is a pretty good choice. If you want to save weight and the hassle of priming, consider a canister stove. I've used a Snow Peak Giga Power up to 12, feet and down to 15 deg. F with no problems. It has performed well in varied conditions and the fact that it will burn near anything really helps.

The fuel line filter is in the stove's fuel tube adapter; this is the brass tube that goes into the fuel pump. To remove the filter, take a safety pin and push the sharp point through the middle of the filter.
Carefully pry the filter out and discard it. To install a new filter, place the filter on a hard surface such as a table top, push the fuel tube adapter straight down onto the filter so that the filter is inserted flush with the end of the fuel tube adapter. It is normal for a small amount of plastic from the filter to be shaved off as the filter is installed; simply rub or cut off the excess material.
There are several reasons your stove may not be priming or lighting. The most common one is that the jet is clogged. First try cleaning your jet. Shaker jet stove owners simply shake your stove vigorously up and down. Non shaker jet stove owners use the jet cleaning wire that was provided with your stove to poke out any debris that may be blocking the passage of fuel. If unscuccessful, remove jet and clean, then hold the jet up and look through hole to make sure it is clear, crisp, and round.
