ST Dupont won't light

[njstone]

I've used compressed air to blow out this MaxiJet, using good fuel (Xikar), the sucker just won't light. It's just outside if the 2-yr warrantee.

Ant tips?

From a you tube video it looks like there is a small machine screw at the base. Undo this screw (you'll need a machinist screwdriver set---- phillips) and check to see if the line is clogged. I dont trust Xikar fuel and my guess is there is a impurity clog in the inside fuel line. (I'm guessing you already purged it knowing you Nate...... ) Pull this line off the diaprham of the tank very carefully. Blow into it to dislodge the clog. It should do the trick. Youll actually see a tar like substance come out of the line. Then just replace the fuel line back to the way you found it. Ive actually fixed quite a few of the guys lighters at the Leaf by doing this over the last couple of years. DONT BREAK THE FUEL LINE THAT CONNECTS THE TANK AND THE TORCH HEAD!
