Sometimes the gas flow is too fast and blows the flame out. Try it at a reduced gas flow.

I had the same problem with one I had before so after many many tries I gave up and bought a new one that has been ok so far. The first one lasted a few years but haven't used the new one much yet. Sometimes I was able to light the old one by turning down the volume of gas while using the spark. Was really glad to throw the first one away as it was so unreliable. I looked for replacement parts but couldn't find any. Good luck!!

I had this problem. I sent it back to BernzMatic. They showed me how the heat was forced back down the feed pipe and had cooked the insulation off the wire. If you use it without causing back pressure it will last a long time. If you take the brass end off the feed pipe you can see the end of the wire. You will see that there is no spark. BernzoMatic replaced it for free even though it was out of warranty. The directions state that the torch needs to be taken off the bottle when not in use. They said this is another common problem that causes the torch to not light even with another ignition source. There are no replacement parts nor safe way to fix it. I had this problem.

You should be able to light it with a match or lighter...turn the gas on high and light about two or three inches behind the nozzle. If the unit is new and not working properly, I'd suggest exchanging it at the retailer from which you purchased it.

Check for spark first. Check on of switch 1=on and 0=off. Check gas valve, is it on? No spark could mean a bad spark plug and if not then I would send it back! John Judge

We had the same issues, it would stay lit, then go out. We thought it may be the wind...We did hold the starter for longer than you are supposed to and it stayed lit but not working as we had hoped.

no spark on my tool. There is definitely something wrong with it. I would suggest returning it as a defective product.

You bet!! Replace it as soon as you can. The hot could cause sparks, then fire! Good luck!

I don't know. I had a similar problem with mine and just returned it and got a new lighter

I had nothing glowing on mine. Return it if you still can. The next thing that goes out is the fan motor. I had 2 of these. I just received the 2nd one plugged it in and the fan went out. Biggest piece of junk.

It does not sound typical for a tool to spark. We recommend that you speak with Porter Cable Technical Support at 888-848-5175.

Sounds like something is caught inside it. Try blowing it out from both directions with compressed air.

Try to bleed out the system. Hold down the gas button for like 15 seconds then hit the ignite button. Fire should light. If no fire then theres no gas. If the fire starts hold the gas down for another 10 seconds then let go. It should stay on. If that doesn't work then the sensor in it might have died. Cant remember the name of the sensor but that happened to me before. When it died i just bought a new one.

It makes a noise but no flash. Just fills with Co2 and bursts the outer shell and makes a loud bang. Uses one shell and a whole Co2 cartridge for each shot

I don't have a clue why but my first one sparked when I plugged in an aux source and didn't work. It was RMA'd and the new one worked and is still working great. Besides the bummer of having to wait for a working one I also had to pay for th ereturn mail. Still, the one that's working is really great. Get an RMA and send it back for a new one.

Perhaps your striker is malfunctioning? Do you smell gas when you open the valve? If so, then you have good gas flow but the striker may not be working. In which case, use a match or a lighter to light the torch. Be sure to light the match/lighter BEFORE you turn on the gas flow. If you don't want to do that, contact Blazer and tell them that your torch is defective. If they're worth any salt, they should send you a replacement.

Red glow is normal, means the heating element is working. I would check your vent tube for blockage.
