Propane gas stove maintenance

Anybody got any links on Propane camp stove repair and cleaning? My Google-Fu has failed to find any that I find easy to follow
My trusty old Jackaroo 3-burner still runs very well but it will not now simmer at all, I think it just needs a good clean out and the gas taps greased but I can't figure out how to disassemble the taps
I know a new one will only cost $60- and this is over 40 years old but why buy new if I can get it up and running again?

Does it have any filter/s before the jets?

No filters and it has tiny diameter gas feed lines and the taps/mix tubes are about 12mm internal

Might need some new jets, and new O rings on the valves. Mine just unscrew out and replace O ring and put back with a smear of vaseline on the O ring.
