Joey smith Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 My first burner seems to run well other than it blows itself out at 25 psi. I’ve attached a video in hopes someone can tell me if its an issue or should i never run it that high .thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcornell Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Unless you're planning on using it as a hand torch, how it burns outside the forge at 20+ PSI is rather irrelevant. Once you get it into the forge body, you'll have some back-pressure, which will make the performance of the burner a bit different. I suspect in the forge you'll be able to go to 30 PSI.

Mikey98118 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 J is correct, in that it will burn better inside a forge. However, your photo shows two problems: to begin with, you don't have a neutral flame; also your flame is off center, which is at least a contributing factor in its instability, if not the entire reason. Look into centering the flame and shoot us another photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey smith Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Im Using .035 mig tip used some gas tape to tighten up the fit . Still need some set screws to hold directly down the tube .1.5 to .75 inch bell on top bottom is .75 to 1 inch i left the threads in the bottom or flame side. Should I remove these? And is .035 enough or should I open it up to a larger orifice? The flame seems better with the tape but still id like better. Please advise oh great burner gods! P.S. new photos attached.

Mikey98118 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 The first photo was still a little off-side, but it was less so than before; resulting in a barely neutral flame, instead of the reducing flame your burner had previously. The second flame is darn fine, and you could be happy with it in a forge, and never look back. The third flame is only acceptable. Go back to whatever you were doing in the second photo You guys are just getting too sharp! Don't you have a harder problem to bring us?
