    Re: Cleaning a Blazer PB-207?

    There are several versions (here's one):
    Often the flame decreases in size after the first refill and may fail
    to ignite on the high setting. I top them up with gas which affects
    the pressure and usually results in a smaller flame. I then adjust
    them before selling. The adjustment is made inside the torch and is
    not really meant to be done by the owner but it can be done with a bit
    of fiddling.

    Remove the two small screws either side of the wind-shield and pull
    off the top. there are no springs to jump out but the dust filter may
    come off from around the fire nozzle. this is easily put back on.

    There is a metal plate held down by one screw. turn the screw a couple
    of turns to loosen the plate - no need to remove it completely. With
    "the black flame adjustment lever at the max position, lift it off the"
    "ratchet , move it back a bit then push it back down onto the ratchet."
    Then push it forward to the high flame position again. Press the
    plunger to release the gas and apply a light from a match or another
    lighter to check the size of the yellow flame. This should be about 2
    cm long.

    the fiddly part is getting the top back on. The wire has to go up
    inside the the hole that leads to the copper electrode that you can
    "see in the top, and the valve that the gas comes out of goes inside"
    the hole in the base of the nozzle. i put the wire in first and then
    wriggle the top around and it goes in fairly easily. If you don't get
    it right the wire bends and you get no spark.

    Don't make the flame too big or it is slow to extinguish. To reduce
    "the flame size push the lever backwards, lift off the ratchet, move it"
    to the maximum seting then push down onto the ratchet again. It's only
    "a matter of repositioning it on the ratchet, and with intelligence,"
    "which i am sure you have, you will understand what you are doing."

    The Pocket Torch really makes a superb lighter although for safety
    reasons it is not made as such. that's what it says on the packiging
    in UK but I won't light a cigar without it. Another point: there is a
    filter in the fire nozzle with a microscopic hole to increase the gas
    "pressure. This is easily blocked with gunge from cheap fuel, so use he"
    best quality such as Ronson or Swan which is charcoal filterd.

    If you get in a mess send the bits to me and I will assemble them for
    you. Include a 5 dollar bill. Also if you have a torch that needs
    repairing do the same. i can replace every part except the body. You
    can email me and I will email back. For more info you may be able to
    access my web pages on
    http://www.u-net.com/~hill//

    Note: This was written by David Robinson about 10 years ago. His current web page is http://www.hill.u-net.com/ and when I sent a couple lighters across the pond (one intact -- the other in pieces that I was unable to put back together again) it cost me $10 (plus shipping).

    good luck!!

    Good
