Hi Dave, thanks for letting us know. Sorry to hear the ignition is proving troublesome after a few uses. The good news is that most causes are simple, mechanical, and fixable without replacing the torch. Here’s a clear, practical breakdown of what typically goes wrong — and what you can safely check. 🔧 The most common reasons it becomes hard to ignite 1. The spark gap has shifted The metal electrode at the nozzle must sit 2–4 mm from the burner head. After a few uses, heat and vibration can cause it to move slightly. Symptoms: Weak spark Spark jumps to the wrong place No spark at all What to check: Look at the tip of the igniter. If the gap looks too wide or touching the burner, gently bend it back into position. 2. Carbon or soot buildup on the electrode Piezo igniters need a clean metal surface to spark properly. Symptoms: Spark is orange or weak Ignition only works intermittently Works better after tapping the torch Fix: Wipe the electrode tip with a dry cloth or a cotton bud. If there’s stubborn soot, a very light scrape with a small screwdriver or fine sandpaper helps. 3. Low gas flow at the moment of ignition These torches need a short, sharp burst of gas to ignite. Causes: Cylinder nearly empty Cylinder too cold Valve opened too slowly Regulator inside the torch stiffening with age Try: Open the valve slightly faster Warm the cylinder in your hands for 20–30 seconds Try a fresh cylinder if yours is near empty 4. Piezo mechanism wearing or sticking The internal spring and hammer can weaken or stick after repeated use. Symptoms: You press the trigger and feel a “soft” click Spark is inconsistent Spark only appears if you press very hard Fix: There’s no user‑serviceable repair, but sometimes a few firm, repeated clicks can free the mechanism. 5. Moisture or condensation If the torch has been stored in a damp shed or garage, moisture can reduce spark strength. Fix: Let it dry indoors for a few hours. Kind regards, Team Hamilton Gas Products

“Bought this as a replacement for same model purchased many years ago which gave good service. The piezo igniter is a little temperamental at times, needing two or three presses. Works better with lower gas pressure to start with and until warmed up. Has occasionally lost the flame even without any side wind or draft, will have to persevere and see how it does after a bit more use. Price seems to be a good bit more than my previous one.”
