BernzOmatic TS8000 Blowtorch Ignition Fix/Repair

[@madbrody15]

Bernzo torch head's main issue seem to be the wire that runs from the trigger mechanism. I've fixed countless heads by completely stripping it down, pulling the wire out and soldering the trigger end and running heat shrink all the way up to the lit end where the wire arcs. its a simple fix that has saved me hundreds and countless trips to home depot. I work in a shop that wraps vehicles and buildings so I've gotten pretty good at fixing these things.

There Junk. Who wants to keep buying garbadge , that dont work.?? i hope they see this..

[@billybull7419]

This is the answer, this video is way too long and wastful

[@danschechter9069]

Thanks for posting this video -- clear, concise, and helpful. Well done!!

[@lenk132]

Encountered the same problem you had. Did the same thing you illustrated in your video and WA-LA.! The ignitor is working again. Thank you for your Post. Extremely Helpful.!

[@mikewilson8402]

Based on your demo, I removed the tip and found some dust filaments or trash between the element and the side of the tube. Brushed that away and torch works like new. Thanks for your video.

[@sandysue202]

I found some dust and a little spider web that I cleaned out carefully with a Q-tip. Now, she fires right up! I am going to get an old pair of cheap garden gloves and cut off the fingers to use over the ends of my 2 torches and maybe keep them more dust free out in the garage.

[@brucegarrison5651]

Thank you, was about ready to tie .50 cents to my unit so I could say that I actually threw something away because I had tried several other thing. BUT what you showed solved the problem. Love my TS8000, hated to lose it, but firing it up with a match WAS NOT fun. NOW we're back in business.

[@erictucker7295]

I'm at the jobsite and you just saved me a trip to buy a lighter thanks bro

[@q1o2]

Thanks man! You saved me $38 from buying a new one!

[@InterestRateCoaster]

This solved my problem nicely, got rid off the headache on a brand new torch gun. Thanks.

[@WilseyIII]

Thanks a million dude, I just fixed my go-to torch because of you!

[@davidcreighton8369]

Thank you so much for that, you saved me £70 buying a new one

[@sandysue202]

Thank you! I have this burner and need to know what to look for if it doesn't ignite. Appreciate you making this helpful video! I also have learned how to take it apart and clean it so I should be good to go for a while now. Again, thanks!!!❤

[@genecurrivan2799]

Putting in a new water heater as I write.... You're golden

[@bigblock1968impala]

this vid and the comments helped me, I had to replace the wire that goes from the spring in the handle to the tip you show💪💪

[@taylorsomero9371]

If this doesn't fix your problem, your ignition wire insulation may have melted where the support holds it at the end of the tube, grounding it out. I solved this by disassembling the torch head and removing the wire, adding a small piece of shrink tubing on the melted section, and flipping the wire around so the other end fits in the support bracket and reassembling.

[@randywipert6759]

Thanks to this video I found my unit had actually got dirt up in the tip and somehow kept it from lighting. scrapped the layer of dirt off and it lite fine

[@petertag1]

Excellent. Your video resolved my issue. Keep up the good work.

[@garn5341]

FYI for others, I just had the same issue, only my wire was too close. It was sparking every time, but I guess not enough of a gap to ignite the gas, so I pulled it so ever so slightly "away" from the tub and it ignites almost every time now.

[@MrFortnoxtt]

Great tip. The other issues is buildup in the tip or fuel tube. It must be clear to provide proper flow. A natural buildup does occur after use. Its consistent with that of a thick spider web. Just clean it with a small tool and fire it up.

[@posmaster22]

Mine sat around for super long. No problem with alignment. The sparker was cover with cobwebs and debris. Cleaned it out and worked immediately.

[@wade2361]

Thanks to this video, I removed that tip and found cobwebs. Cleaned them out and it lit right back up. I use mine often too (it's my bbq lighter) but apparently some spider set up shop in the couple weeks since I last grilled.

[@nc3826]

It also helps to clean the electrode off.Carbon can build up interfering with the ground. And it's nice that they have added a lifetime guarantee to all new purchases....

[@johnmilner7603]

Mine doesn't work cause the piezoelectric igniter died that's behind the on/off knob and Bernzomatic won't sell the piezo igniter to me. So now I'm hunting for a Co that sells it.

[@randyaivaz3356]

Try one from a Barbeque lighter. Good Luck

[@pedrogarcia5]

Very well done and didn't waste my time with a comedy routine.

[@patrickjones2462]

had the same problem thanks so much for the heads up and doing the video

[@lucnguyen8905]

Thank you! Just fixed mine using this vid!

[@kurensik]

Thanks!....you saved me $40......fixed in couple seconds!

[@edwardmurphy4665]

Thank you. I did not know that the position of wire to the edge was even a factor. It only makes sense though when I thought about the importance of gaping auto spark plugs. So yeah, thank you

[@DS-li7go]

Thank you!!! Have it a little push and it works every time now!!

[@tomsmith6094]

Thank you I was going throw mine away thank you for showing me to fix it 👍🏼

[@netpoke58]

Thanks for the great video. This got my 4000 back to working like new again

[@lexusautotek8905]

Thanks man this helped I was gona throw away and buy another one

[@chrisramos1525]

Thank you 🙏, I was able to fix my friend Lenox torch

[@williambarry4693]

I did what you said an it worked well. Great Site!!!

[@ericpohner1362]

Thanks for the fix that worked perfect!

[@daledeveau1]

Thankyou fixed the problem works like new again

[@butchlenz994]

Thanks for the video, copper wire worked fine

[@nearpar]

Thank you that was exactly what was wrong with mine !

[@aldogressa6708]

Do you have a video, How to adapt hose with flame reduction?

[@ronaldyoung5163]

Thank you, fixed the issue and saved me some $$$.

[@Luv2punish_]

Thank you, this video was super helpful

[@gnericnuser]

Mine recently stopped igniting I will have to give this a try , hopefully it's not worst

[@Skraeling1]

A drop of wd40 on the piezo-clicker worked for me. Works like new!

[@hightowerone]

Did you just spray around the plastic button cracks or did you take off the button? If you did take it off, how? Thanks for your time

[@hightowerone]

Never mind! Mine was a dirt dobber clog. Should of known!

[@Error404v22]

Saved me $40..... thank you

[@Ransome2501]

Mine sparks every time ( because it’s permanently affixed with a collar inside )with nozzle off but does not ignite even with gas coming out. Any suggestions

[@victoryfirst2878]

How do you solve arcing for 100 percent ignition???? Thanks

[@TheDurk96]

Thanks, back in action 🙂

[@revoadan618]

Am going to buy one of this. BTW if im done working can i just separate the nozzle and canister for safety reason until i want to use it again?

[@res10dent]

Yes

[@edwardmurphy4665]

Absolutly.

[@kev20122012]

does orifice come off this torch isn't as good as it was brand new

[@mattstough3614]

Kevin Melton yes. you can find an orifice on ebay. look up surefire OT759. surefire was made by bernzomatic but they changed the name to bernzomatic after a while. it will work i did it to my ts8000

[@dylankempker]

Mine is shorting out on the insert I think the coating on the wire must have a hole in it.

[@fernandorafael4892]

Tem como trocar o centelhador?

[@stacyg9824]

It worked for me. Thanks

[@jedslammer5159]

What if u have to replace the igniter can u use any ignhiter and can u please make a video on doing this

[@randyaivaz3356]

Had Ignition Problem with my Craftsman, Very similar, going to give it a try, don't remember if I get a Click, if this doesn't work, will see if I can make it work from a Barbeque lighter(with the long reach. Thanks Like everyone else, who would keep the Manual for something with one Button

[@docglock1932]

Do you know what the maximum temp this torch will reach?

[@bushratbeachbum]

It depends on what gas you use. Propane vs mapp (or tf ultra, the mapp replacement) burn at different temperatures

[@macgyver5108]

With propane it's roughly 1980 °C or 3600 °F at "full throttle", and I believe that number is at sea level too. Altitude affects the burn rate and temperature because there's less oxygen higher up. Mapp gas burns a bit hotter at 3730 °F.

[@greghart007]

Thanks very much! Fantastic

[@privatedata665]

If this does not fix your ignition failure , pull the wire up slightly & gently so it protrudes from the end of the stainless steel tube and slightly extends into the brass screw on extension

[@bushratbeachbum]

I've got 2 of the rothenberger versions , they're pretty well identical. One has been working great, one lights if you light it with a lighter, but burns yellow and unusable. Found the problem, a tiny spider web in the tube, fished it out and now it's working fine. Id tried cleaning the jet, changing the nozzle, no dice! Simple usually wins huh?!! Does anybody know where I can find a fine nozzle for these torches? Searched around, asked rothenberger stockists , can't find anything!! Cheers!!

[@tomalophicon]

I have the same issue. weak yellow flame after using a lighter. Will try your fix,

[@tomalophicon]

All fixed. Unscrewed the tube and there was a spiders nest blocking the whole thing. Works perfectly again. Cheers mate.

[@treetrimmerguy2]

Had to replace wire going from nozzle to first connection point in mine.

[@probew2010in]

I learned 2 things, how to fix my torch head, and that the cylinder is removable.... I thought that if I removed it all the gas would come out.

[@daviddehert2052]

Thank u that really helped me

[@stonkykong5239]

Fantastic tip! Will try this on my sievert power jet blow torch

[@8К63-75]

Доброго всем вечера. У меня ЯТО 36715,сначала работала хорошо,теперь плюётся,как верблюд... Как устранить,спасибо!

[@andreiVJ]

Thanks a lot for the tip!

[@MrReadandlearn]

Over the years I've replace too many bernzomatic products. They do not sell any parts and that means you toss them and buy new. I now buy cheap junk and get to save a lot.

[@cooldude12773247798]

Help: My torch leaks from the small hole in the handle

[@AndrewWorkshop]

EMail Bernzomatic, they should be able to help.

[@rayc1503]

Same here, did you find a solution?

[@edwardmurphy4665]

Aluminum duct tape

[@peterubalcaba6256]

Thank you it works

[@michaelculhane3058]

Mine lights but goes out immediatly. It's all clean inside. Anybody have any ideas?

[@texascrossbowdude636]

I saw other videos where you remove the stem at the bottom of the torch where to screws to the tank 3/8 socket. I squirted a little brake cleaner fluid blew it out with a can of compressed air ant it fixed it. There was a white powder residue that I think was blocking the fuel. Then I shot the air thru the nozzle incase anything was in there. Did the same to 2 of my nozzles and it worked.

[@8К63-75]

Открой сильнее подачу газа.

[@stephenbass4965]

thank you. that fixed it

[@TBoy205]

says this in the manual

[@edwardmurphy4665]

That's awesome except I've never bought a brand new one and have never seen their manual.

[@franiscop]

Thanks for the info.

[@JoseArroyo-ld5vm]

Thank you so much good tip

[@Yaqoobalvi]

Worked for me thanks

[@davidotero3027]

Thank you so much

[@lancewestveer8677]

Just pulled the nozzle and found a spider nest inside with a spider. I could shoot out a flame but it was more like a lighter than a torch. Guess i cooked the spider alive.

[@BassPotter46]

Also, run a pipe cleaner down the tube. The smallest little spider web will keep it from working.

[@donboty2493]

Excellent

[@pipemkr]

i shouldnt have to fix this on day one.. i miss my 4000 bad

[@detroitpyro2859]

This helped me

[@donboty2493]

Thank you

[@gotchaabeech]

This doesn’t work all the time the arc can still be there but doesn’t ignite it

[@kola2018]

I twisted that off. The the wire is broke and came off

[@StripeyType]

Thanks!

[@tacoconch7678]

Bernzoatic propane torches are awesome. Their mini butane torches, however, are pathetic!

[@timmyturner6703]

Thanks

[@atrister]

thank you!

[@dannyleung9448]

these things NEVER work. I have the model that doesn't come apart so can't fix it

[@8К63-75]

Всё разбирается...

[@tacoswamper]

Now I can take dabs again! Thanks man

[@serbiano1]

You rock! Saved me a trip to the hardware store! 👍

[@dbergum1]

It worked,thank you

[@joeoliver9223]
