I have a Bernzomatic TS3000 hand torch and it stopped working. I can see the spark when I press the igniter. I tried another propane cylinder with no luck. Since this is my first torch I did not know to remove it from the cylinder when I was done with it. I believe that it's just clogged but I'm not sure how to repair it. Any suggestions? Thank you.

For starters, if you have a blow gun that has a long enough tip, you can blow compressed air into the gas discharge nozzle with the trigger pulled - if you are lucky, that may be enough to dislodge whatever might be blocking the orifice inside. Otherwise, you might have to take it apart (which I have never done so I can't offer any further help).

did you leave it outside one night? could be a spider web in it. on the side there is a small opening that lets in air I think. if its clogged it wont light. blowing the air as suggested above is a fix if nothing visible.

Yep ! IIRC, the orifice unscrews so you can use some kind of spray, even canned air, to try and clear it.did you leave it outside one night? could be a spider web in it.
