Torch Head- Repairable?

[Greatwhitewing]

I have a torch head I use with MAP gas that doesn't light the gas any longer. Is it repairable or do I need to buy another? Let me down on a front wheel bearing project yesterday

I have a plumbing repair coming up and need a reliable heat source.

Probably just got some crud plugging it up. Blow it out with compressed air. If this is the pushbutton ignitor style try lighting it manually with a lighter. The ignitor may have died.

Gas flows freely, the ignitor won't ignite no-mo. Can I buy a replacement component part.

Can't you just use a welding torch striker? Or even a match/lighter?

Yes I could have but I currently don't own a striker and (Murphy was here) the only lighter I had didn't work either. PLUS I really appreciate the one handed operation.

Check for a broken wire. As long as the button still clicks when pushed it should still spark. Remove the gas cylinder and look down the tip and see if you can see a spark.

Clicks but no spark, had the spark module out and no spark there either. Looked all over the Bernzomatic site with no spare or replacement parts listed. Probably a liability issue they don't sell service parts
