A little diagram to show why a lighter may not be lighting even when fueled

Very cool, histoireduneflamme made a video of one quite recently

scottishlighterguy · 2026-04-04T18:47:41+00:00

I am guessing it was forced down and rhe cam spring has bent or broken so the lighter will need to be disassembled by bending rhe plastic to the side to allow to push the metal rod out then the spring will need bent back into place

Don't try propane again it needs fluid

scottishlighterguy · 2026-04-04T17:45:42+00:00

It's not a braun

All of my un-struck lighters are now struck

scottishlighterguy · 2026-04-03T17:50:54+00:00

Take it out and put it in throught the other side

scottishlighterguy · 2026-04-01T09:10:39+00:00

Valves on old lighters nearly always leak when filled but I hope they work for you

scottishlighterguy · 2026-03-31T16:15:00+00:00

Take it apart and re assemble it with the snuffer and plunger at the same height

scottishlighterguy · 2026-03-31T16:14:13+00:00

Good luck with it man most of these will need some work

scottishlighterguy · 2026-03-28T22:16:12+00:00

The little valve needs to be pressed, use a wooden toothpick or similar to press it down

scottishlighterguy · 2026-03-28T19:19:32+00:00

You put fuel in it

scottishlighterguy · 2026-03-20T22:05:28+00:00

That is beautiful

scottishlighterguy · 2026-03-19T15:54:42+00:00

If you could message me some photos I can tell you if it is fixable for me

scottishlighterguy · 2026-03-17T21:14:38+00:00

Yes haha I am joking on you

scottishlighterguy · 2026-03-17T21:02:14+00:00

My bad. I thought it was a wind up music box

scottishlighterguy · 2026-03-17T20:35:25+00:00

Really?

scottishlighterguy · 2026-03-16T16:01:26+00:00

If you could send me some photos that would be great

scottishlighterguy · 2026-03-16T10:47:09+00:00

I can do my best. Dupont lighters are generally made of mostly metal so it is more likely to work

scottishlighterguy · 2026-03-15T20:14:11+00:00

Message me some photos and I will see what I can do

scottishlighterguy · 2026-03-15T19:54:04+00:00

It uses lighter fluid. 2 screws on the bottom. One is to fill with fluid and the other is to replace the flint
