I tried it just like you said on my model # 505-637-50 and it didn’t work, nor did sticking a pin in the hole near the locking screw to disengage the track that moves he mechanism back and forth. I have three matching dial calipers and all are off by .030”, .005” and .025” in relative to the Zero position. What can I do?

I did that and it will only light one or two times. What else could it be? I cant find any other videoes with this issue.

What is the T handle tool called? I can't get the front removed from my Blazer to replace it. Tried 2 small flatheads but still can't get that to loosen any. I need one of those T handle tools!

Thank you for this !! Just repaired one thanks to you. 4 more to go. Glad I kept them and didn't just toss them in the trash.

What if the igniter is OK but torch doesn't work

Amazing! I didn't want to throw away one of my favorite torches (best design, most rugged, easiest to use, best value) after the piezo electric igniter switch started failing, and so I searched a bit for a repair guide for my O'Reilly Auto Parts PTW2002 butane torch. I couldn't find any diagrams or how-to's on tearing them down and repairing them correctly, until I found these two videos! It's the same EXACT design of the Blazer ES-1000, and 9 years later, is probably far cheaper (< $20) than what the OP paid for his Blazer back then. Thank you, brother, for posting these videos. I'll definitely be able to keep my torch working far into the foreseeable future now, instead of it being cursed and cast into the great torch graveyard in the sky (aka dumpster)...

I was able to fix it by using your method thank you!

jìììnîlll

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your insight with all of us. Truly appreciate it brother

Very nice calipers how much are they?

Do they sell the actual tool to remove the front nut?

I vote for Beef Jerky. Lol. Print a camera holder with FDM printer.

That’s not necessarily true. Depending on the series, there is no access hole to disengage the rack . In those cases, Mitutoyo provided a small phosphor bronze shim that you could slip between the rack and the pinion to temporarily disengage the rack from the pinion gear and reset the pointer hand. This is tricky for the novice. I’m my opinion, if the hand is only off a tiny bit, moving the rack is super easy. If you’re brave, removing the hand and placing it back on at the zero position is fairly painless

You can take the bottom screw out the one that is below the dial and you can take a tool like a paper clip and push it up inside there and disengage the rack and then you can turn your dial back to zero pull the tool out and it will stay right there.

WHERE AND HOW TO INSTALL THE PARTS THAT YOU WELDED TOGETHER???? YOU DID NOT SHOW THAT AT ALL!!!! JUST HOPELESS AND WASTE OF TIME TO WATCH >>>>= SO WHATS THE POINT OF ALL OF THIS SHIT ????????????? WHAT ??? === LOTS OF SHIT ON KZbin!!

Instead of soldering it the aluminum wire, can you just crimp it?

please number me

You know mate this is why I LOVE KZbin through folk like you,,, we as consumers buy anything from TVs,, DVD players, Washing machines, down to the small items like this Torch lighter, I get so annoyed seeing flat screen TVs as an example on a dumpster and I've dropped lucky sometimes, even a laptop or two I've given new life and sold and gave any money to Douglas Mcmillam, a cancer hospice group in the UK, and it boils down to *We aren't supposed to repair items now,, the sad part of it, people don't! They'll see *0%%% no payments till X 2029 but you'll pay 3k interest if you miss 1 payment,,,, I'm being dramatic, but it's true, that attitude "why repair, why order a new power supply", or as simple as change the fuse,,,, its manufacturers having power via advertising on TV, but www,,, have you ever talked about a new phone then get inendated with adverts on your smartphone,,, ever thought your being monitored? Why do we accept Cookies ?????????? Why don't we stop, and find the article via a non tracking search engine? It's putting esp young people into debt and they are so vulnerable. I was always as a kid interested how my dad built a fence, repaired the washer, he could apart from car mechanics, not service like oil check, but eg if the clutch or brakes needed fixing, people pay to have a 30 minute service,,, Top up your car oil, air pressure in tyres, water in the radiator, and its £50, call again, thank you,,,, axxxhole.... Buy yourself a *Set of Hex screwdrivers *, buy the little items that these big companies are trying to make us unable to fix a product, you'll really surprise yourself when it's fixed, what ya lost if you were buying new anyway? Do that all year you've got a vacation spending money,,, so yea, this is why I love KZbin because this guy found not only how to maintain his product, but also how to save 30 Dollars on a part worth pennies, I've only landed on here because the issue is not to service mine, but to put a part back the correct way as it cost me 20 UK pounds before Xmas and barbacue weather is soon upon us and I use mine for lighting it, the 20 pounds I've saved,,,, that's 2 *Six packs * 🤘🤘🤘. Great video mate, regards from across the pond 🇬🇧

Nice job. I've been repairing all my torches for about 5 years and have an "old torch graveyard" & it has about 80 scrap torches people have given me for parts. Keep up the good work

Thank you for your video. I am requesting the tool to remove the retaining ring and/or the plans. [email protected]

What is the part number for the piezo electric igniter? Where else can the be sourced how can I search for the specific part needed?

Thanks, you helped me solve a problem Also, your explanation is very good

What are the dimensions and type of material for the fuel hose? I cannot find this information anywhere

is this still available? I cannot find it on eBay

Hey I have a torch lighter just like this and I may have messed it up really bad by taking it apart and obviously not the right way but regaurdless it was broken before I tryed to fix it. It was not going to complete sharp pointy torch flame like it should even if I had put the sliding thing on the top all the way to torch flame it would be like a solid blue bic flame instead of the torch. Mine Is like yours but idk if yours has the regular lighter option along with the torch option on the top but that's what mine does . But it was not completely going to torch flame like it should have would you know why I can try to find it snd take a picture of it to show you

Nice "VOX" amp!

Thanks mate. Good torch but these bloody igniters are a pain for sure. Too expensive to be so fragile.

you can get new igniters from a chinahoa.com for $7 for 20

where you buy replacemen sparkers

Hey man I really got to thank you for researching and posting this. I repaired my broken igniter in my Blazer using the exact parts and method you described and its fully functional now!

thank you for the video

Btw, Chu Berry is only for tenors. This might be a 'Chu Berry' serial # and all, but Chu Berry only played tenor therefore this technically should not be called a Chu Berry. But nice saxophone.

고마워요! 덕분에 잘 고쳐서 사용하고 있습니다.

a year bud..?.?.? maby if u only light ur BBQ twice a year..from my experience I'd b lucky if they last a month under regular use.. iv had a few not even last a pack of smokes

I also have to do something like this how did you stretch the spark plug? ie the piezoelectric wire of the lighter is shorter, how did you stretch it?thank

Can you show us how to solder the two wires together and then add the tubing? We have 5 blazers that need new ignitors.

Almost every time I try to take apart a torch lighter to fix it the lever for the gass falls out and when I try to put it back it almost never works the same again any advice I'd really appreciate it

I had a torch that looked almost just like that one bit it said tool r something can't remember but probably not vary different got it at auto zone

Any way I could borrow your tool to take it apart? Or sell me one?

Contact info?

ok so whats your contact info to get one

The ignitor is $4 from power probe

How could I disassemble my torch without the key?

hey I've Ben asking alot of people this question see a few of my torches I've tried to fix but every time I light them the whole torch catches on fire is there any thing I can do to fix the problem ? is it the tips mayby ?

If only I could figure out how to make or get a tool like the T lol. Everything was great. Just dont know where to find a tool

How long is that igniter from the lighter. I need one for my Bernzomatic TS4000 torch. My igniter is 1-3/8" long from end to end. Maybe I could use the long one and tape it to the side of the handle. Looked online and found this short one that may be shorter for my needs www.walmart.com/ip/Bic-Black-White-Mini-Electronic-Lighters-2-count/47161012

Beatlebacker, can you make me one? [email protected]

Hey, I just purchased my first Conn New Wonder I alto sax with a micro tuner neck. Though it clearly was a closet piece and kept in amazing condition, the tuner needs to be cleaned. I would like to take you up on your offer for a free tool!

I got the Scripto piezo lighters at Walmart.One thing to consider (forgot to mention in the video) is that the wire on the scripto is aluminum...very difficult to solder unless you have the right type of flux.I do a lot of different types of brazing and soldering in my shop so I have a variety of flux but make sure you get some flux designed for soft soldering aluminum !

where did you get the SCRIPTO ELECTRONIC LIGHTER
