torch lighter problem

[scrapiron]

I know I've got a brand new lighter from the group buy but I've also got an older one with a problem.

Just filled it up and it still sputters and makes noise like gas coming out but not burning. It lights, burns about 1 second an then goes out. Do I have to completey bleed it before refilling? It holds about as much as the pb207 so I hate to bleed it completely.

Or does it more likely need compressed air to blow out the burner?

I filled it with the same butane as the pb207 (vector) and filled it about 2 minutes after filling the 207 that works fine.

Thanks

Try adjusting the flame level. I've had this problem in the past when the flame was set too low.

I’ve had the same problem and the only cure was bleeding the tank and refilling it. Nice pic of Bullock, Deadwood is the best.

I have also had this problem, and blowing the burner/jets out with a can of air fixed it.

you probably have some dust on the ignition and there might be air bubbles in the fuel tank. i reccommend cleaning the ignition with a small pin and then emptying out the fuel tank with a pen then refill

thanks, I'll give all those a try.
We had a deadwood game going during the season. Can't wait til next season!
