BERNZOMATIC how to fix a propane torch that wont light

Very simple solution for propane bottle torch when it wont light. Never throw these away! This is the older TS4000 model

[@tomthill6771]

I was getting a spark but it wouldn't light. Gas was flowing out too. I took it apart like you did here and my tube looked clean and clear. I cleaned it out with a Qtip anyway and blew some air down it with my compressor. Put it back together and damn it works now. Thank you!!

[@oxford821]

Right on!!

[@David-sw3on]

Ah man! As soon as you mentioned "You just need to clean it"🤔..it made total sense! I actually have the exact same one as you; So after all these years of always manually lighting it? Well its better late than never. So when I came across your video: I just gotta say- MY MAN--YOU MADE MY DAY!!!! Thanks very much and God Bless.👍😉🇨🇦

[@oxford821]

Right on!!!! Feels good to help out. God Bless you also!

[@waynenewman6377]

[@oxford821]

NICE! Glad it worked out

[@topsyball1049]

Great job. taught me how to repair mine. Now working. Must have been a critter in there w. a nest. Also I checked for spark and adjusted the gap. You saved me so much..Thank you.

[@oxford821]

Great news!

Yea, crazy. Go for it!

[@davidmortimer9925]

Who knew, worked a treat, thanks mate, thought I had to replace parts which I couldn't find anyway.

[@oxford821]

You just saved me $50. Thank you!

[@oxford821]

Cool, NP!

[@88dfletcher]

When you screwed it back on to test it, I wondered; "what if this thing doesn't fire up?" Then it made me appreciate your confidence in what you were saying by not EDITING, which helped me to TRUST what you were saying. Oh, and if you hadn't mentioned the spring, I would have sucked it up next week. Peace with you

[@oxford821]

Right on! Thanks for watching

Thanks!

[@LarryKapp1]

Mine wasn't lighting - no soot like yours. But with flashlight I could see some tiny strands of spider web. I ran a fine wire through , also checked out the orifice on top - it seemed clean. Anyway it now works so thanks for the video .

[@oxford821]

Right on!! NP

[@brightchange6065]

Just as you said "don't lose that little key", I dropped the little set-screw ... That's EXACTLT what happened with mine ... there was a little spider's web/nest inside the tube of mine, near the tip. Thanks so much, I was going to throw it out ..

[@oxford821]

Alright!!! Cool

[@SherlockOhms119]

Very good. Saved it from the landfill.

[@oxford821]

Thanks

[@DJG1390]

thank you sir, my larger tube had a tiny spider home inside of it a little thin brush and compress air got it working so much beter

[@oxford821]

Right on! NP

[@philh7892]

great stuff. mine was identical problem, hadn't used it in years. Wasp nest up the tube, couldn't get at it. Didn't know how to service it. Your vid did it. Was about to spend $$$ replacing it. So thanks mate from Australia.

[@oxford821]

Right on brother!

[@rscottranda]

Fixed mine! Thanks!

Thanks man, saved me some bucks

Right on!! NP

[@mrsoxford8217]

About time you cleaned that thing….lol! The cicadas in the background are so loud!

[@oxford821]

Yea, it was lower on my list. I didn’t even notice the noise!

[@juanaguilera7742]

Damn this video save my 59$ . I’m about to get new one. I’m like umm must have a video that show how to clean or other way to able to light up. Thank you.

[@oxford821]

Right on!!!!

[@williamheinrich4659]

I took it apart and saw the spider webs inside, cleaned it out and it fired right up. Thanks 👍

[@oxford821]

Right on!!!! I’m glad it worked out for you

[@hpurey]

5:33 Almost $50 now in 2023. Didn't want to throw mine out, hence, finding your video. Will report back if it works. I'm working from home today and it's snowy but I still use it for my charcoal grill all year round. Just have to find the allen wrenches out in the garage when I get a chance to sneak away from the desk. ;-)

[@oxford821]

Fingers crossed!!!

[@hpurey]

No luck. pulled it apart further and the Piezo electric ignitor only works every once in a while. When it does, it feels "good". but not enough to light my torch. I'll just keep a spare lighter nearby in the meantime but hope to get lucky finding a lighter with the same igniter to swap out.

[@oxford821]

Dang it

[@pskoen]

Good informative vid, btw! Thx.

[@oxford821]

Thanks!

[@FreeAmericaChannel]

I sprayed mine with carb cleaner and - tadah! worked perfectly.

[@oxford821]

Right on!

[@FreeAmericaChannel]

@@oxford821 Be careful with the carb cleaner. I used it on a cheaper version with more plastic and the carb cleaner melted the plastic.

[@oxford821]

@@FreeAmericaChannel Wow good look! Watch out for that people!

[@gigib7146]

U da man - I just saved $47, thanks.

Nice Tip !!

[@oxford821]

Thanks

[@wyattandwill12]

I seem to have not closed mine all the way last time I used it or something because instead of the normal deep ringing noise it sounds like a hollow metal pole 👍🏻

[@marvinjackson2641]

thumbs up...... i'm gonna use brake parts cleaner too on mine

[@oxford821]

Thanks, good idea!

[@GLASTRON205GT]

Hahah it just worked for me i was just about to throw it out all i did was clean it with q tip few times and it worked 😂 thank u

[@oxford821]

Nice!!!!

[@golferdmr]

Thanks!

[@oxford821]

Thank you! I appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness

[@dannyM7M]

I have issues with ignition too, however, when I removed the tip, it lights. I have arc and fuel. Tip is clean and I also washed and cleaned out tip. Any idea? Thx

[@oxford821]

Sometimes inside the tube the filament is bent a little or touching.

[@ericgauthier8695]

Pipe cleaner works well cause I always have em handy in my pipe tobacco pouch😉

[@oxford821]

Yea I gotta get some

[@Shaosid]

I owe you a beer 🍺

[@oxford821]

Haha, right on!

[@bobsmith674]

Dad gum spiders. Who invites them into the torch anyways?

[@oxford821]

They find their way into everything!

[@TheExodus1]

You can also blow inside the holes above the spring instead of unscrewing it.

[@oxford821]

Cool

[@nate1643]

is there a way to do this on the cheaper torch heads that have the manual gas valve?

[@oxford821]

It probably the same way. Just try to clean the nozzle

[@sealions__9286]

I have one that I can push the button to turn the Gass on any idea

[@aaronhoang2713]

cool...traight to the point...

[@oxford821]

Thanks!

[@joeelliott8454]

If you have trouble cleaning the tubes, simply remove the 2 top parts like in the video and put them in boiling water for 10 mins, comes out super clean and starts right up.

[@oxford821]

Cool!

[@Kaeman00]

Mine is BRAND NEW. I only used it once’s and when I went to go use it the second time it wouldn’t light. Hopefully it’s just dirty? I’ll have to check it when I’m home

[@oxford821]

Try my method, let me know!

[@24acresofparadise]

It doesn't take very long for these starters to get dirty and stop working. I have several of them and I think I'm just going to find a better alternative.

[@oxford821]

I have to clean mine every year.

[@sqqqrly7750]

I cleaned it, but also had to very slightly bend the electrode to be closer to the tubing to get a reliable spark. Do not bend it very much.

[@oxford821]

Right on!

[@simonzhu6141]

i got the same torch head, it is not working since day 1 i got it new. it has no propane come out from the torch head. how can i fix? thanks!

[@oxford821]

I would try another propane bottle first. If nothing comes out again, there has to be a blockage. Pipe cleaners would probably be a good start

[@jeffbudzisz160]

Of course, this didn't work for me but, it did get me on the right track to go one step further by removing the orfus you can see once removing the torch tube and cleaning the top and bottom which worked for me. I'd post a picture but don't see where I can.

[@oxford821]

Right on!!

[@tau4942]

Do you know where I can buy the screw on tip?

[@oxford821]

Check out their website, maybe they’ll have it

[@pskoen]

What is that oscillating high-frequency sound? Cicadas? Hissing alligators? A sprinkler system?

[@oxford821]

Yes it’s cicadas!

[@tonyefc8423]

Great video. I bought a cheap crappy "go system," burner here in the UK. It wouldn't light, even after it was removed, brand new from it's box! it's non serviceable. If you see these in your hardware or DIY store, run a mile! Cheap, nasty junk.

[@oxford821]

Right!

[@user-sv4ev5qg1u]

Mine is brand new, and it won't light up. My other one is bent and it gets dirty every time and it has never failed.

[@oxford821]

Not sure if that’s good news or bad news!!!

[@garrykowaluk7475]

Beware that the Qtip will leave stuff in the tube . Check it before you proceed . ( I would not advise using Q tips.)

[@oxford821]

Yes, a pipe cleaner would be better.

[@wally1957]

does it have a battery?

[@oxford821]

No!

[@michaelknotts6244]

Same thing I use mine for

[@oxford821]

Cool!

[@S.p.h.2021]

Iv followed this but the flame still don't stay alight ??

[@oxford821]

Sometimes it’s the filament inside the tube. May be to close to the side?

[@MyNguyen-tn4gb]

Crazy guys

[@oxford821]

Nice!

[@apuuvah]

Them tooth gap brushes might be good...

[@oxford821]

Yea

[@jeffreyellis87]

I just bought one of these and it is doing this. It is brand new. Could also be what is wrong with it? Or is there something else going on?

[@oxford821]

Look inside the tube and check if the igniter isn’t bent out of shape

[@jteddy11]

Just bought a Mag Torch, not working out of the plastic package, I may clean it and see if it lights better, out of the package it take 4 clicks to light, wasting propane. Cost me $44 plus tax just for the torch alone.

[@oxford821]

That’s sucks, try it. Sometimes the little igniter in the tube is out of line also.

[@tonyefc8423]

What is that noise in the background?

[@oxford821]

I think your asking about the bug noise. They are called Cicadas.

[@mattwarrensocal]

Now SIXTY DOLLARS!

[@oxford821]

Dang!

[@user-jb8gp1pm9o]

Mines sometimes works sometimes doesn’t idk

[@oxford821]

Maybe the filament is out of place or loose?

[@Matthew-ib2kz]

Mine don’t even have a nozzle 😐

[@oxford821]

Hit all the yard sales!!!
