Alphafarrier Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Hey Guys, So I’ve been building some 3/4” and 1” Mikey burners. I’ve been having some trouble with flames blowing out. The 3/4” burner, for instance, runs great with a .035 MiG tip across all pressure ranges, but anything smaller it blows the flame out with the choke open more than 1/2”. The 1” burner is the same story, but I have a .045 MiG tip in it. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey98118 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 "What is a Mikey burner?" For several years, after the book came out, there was a very rigid definition. That's no longer true. What I can predict is that your version isn't one:one to the original design; that is not necessarily bad news. However, for you the numbers have changed; not what to do about them. Change gas orifice sizes until you do get what you're after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphafarrier Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Thanks Mikey As per usual, I am probably overthinking this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
