If the flame sputters and has trouble keeping going then it's too weak to stay above the nozzle, turn the gas flow up a little. If everything works but the lighter won't light or can't hold a flame turn down the gas flow a bit.

At this point I can't think of much else to go wrong, if the gas filler valve leaks when you fill it up then tighten it. take some thin wire or a pin and put it through the nozzle to clear it. If the gas still isn't getting out the nozzle then the nozzle's clogged, symptoms include the lighter bursting into flame for a second during use. Simply check where gas is going by pushing down on the lever for the gas valve on the reservoir, look carefully along the gas line, you should see something similar to 'heat wiggles' (from the change in desity between gas and air) if theres a leak, I you have a crappy BBQ lighter kicking around then cannibalize that for some gas line (there's enough for five or six replacements) and if you needed it they're a great source of igniters due to the extra long cable.
#ST DUPONT LIGHTER REPAIR PARTS HOW TO#
All of these things are curable, this lighter hasn't many original parts, at one point I was going to hotrod a second nozzle in but There's no room, eventually I'll make an instructable about how to make your own jet lighter. This always happens if you set the lighter when it's hot because it starts easier but wont once it's cooled down again. try turning down the gas a bit (sometimes the gas can't ignite because it going too fast for the tiny arc to heat. Push down the button, is there gas coming out and is there a definite click from the spark (if yes to both this will be easy) If there's no gas coming out at the nozzle but it's going somewhere then the connection has been broken probably nothing more than the flexible gas line has slipped off the seat of the reservoir end (there's more room here so it fall off that end but it's easy to fix anyway) If you push the button all the way down and no click go to the shop and buy a really crappy cheap electric lighter, not a bic though, their piezios have no wire. Fill it with gas and listen, it may leak for a up to 30 seconds but that's ok as long as it stops.
