propane torch issue

[hedz]

my father has a old bernzomatic torch kit in a metal case. The last time i used it something malfunctioned and flame was shooting everywhere. What part went bad here? i want to repair and update his kit and give it to him for christmas. I already picked up some new flint strikers.

is something inside this brass nozzle bad? or is it the canister?

i guess i'm going to buy a fresh can and try to ignite the torch and be ready to hail mary it just in case... process of elimination

that's what i had to do the last time because flame was shooting out everywhere near the screw on nozzle

it seems funny looking back but it definitely was not at the time

Looks like a cool old torch. I doubt the cylinder (tank) is the issue. I would check to make sure that the little orifice isn't in backwards or that it's not missing. I think replacement orifices are still available if it is missing.

thank you. i had no idea what the parts were called in this torch. i located the orifice which is right behind the tip i think. and yes it is clogged. i am going to soak it in gasoline and see what happens. don't have any fine wire. i wonder if someone sells a orifice cleaning kit or a tip cleaning kit... if i can't clean this orifice out i'll attempt to find a replacement by calling bernzomatic.

it probably didn't help when i sprayed the torch with a fire extinguisher a couple years ago after i hail maried it into a gumball tree while it was shooting flames out the sides of the torch about a foot long. i've been in some hairy situations but my heart beat picks up every time i recall that one.
