so while all of you are busy grilling
marshmallows and hot dogs and lighting
mannequins on fire we jumped on the
bandwagon and decided to violate our
terms and conditions in a little bit of
a different way
sorry long instead of trying to light
stuff on fire we disassembled the knot a
flamethrower and on this episode of
gadget guts we're gonna show you how to
fix it when it breaks the boring company
not a flame thrower is essentially a
propane torch with an airsoft gun body
and as we take it apart you'll see the
inside of the torch like this plus a
fancy shell this is the fuel bracket
that holds the propane tank the tank is
connected to the regulator which is held
in place by some hefty screws from there
you can separate the body by removing
even more hefty screws and then you can
see the torch that's glued into place so
when it comes to repairing this thing
it's pretty modular and you can get
almost every part online from the torch
to the regulator and even the fancy
shelf now a real flamethrower spits out
way more fuel at a higher pressure to
create a longer directed flame but a
boring flamethrower works a little
differently check it out before the
nozzle there's an ignition switch that
lights a small pilot flame then holding
the trigger down allows the propane to
flow through the nozzle where it gets
ignited by the pilot light and shoots
out a badass flame but if you're
pressing the ignition switch and there's
still no idle flame check to be sure
that the idle valve is open and make
sure that the regulator knob is turned
off now if you smell excessive propane
you might have a leak in your line take
some soapy water and apply it to the
hose at the regulator turn on the gas
and if bubbles appear you've got a leak
and need a new hose if
still no flame turn the regulator off to
stop the flow gas you might just need a
new bottle of propane and that's how you
can fix you're not a flame thrower to
