Koby F Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 So I have a NC Tool Whisper baby forge and up until today it worked fine. I used it yesterday with no problems. Today I tried to light it up and it took a sec but lit and stayed working for about 2 hours. In the last 20-30 min, it seemed like the gas would cut off/flame would go out for a split second and then re-light. Then it just went out. I check the valves and the whole burner itself and saw no blockages. I was told it was either the tank or the regulator so I got a new tank to test and it still won't work. It seems to light now for about 10 sec and then the flame like blows back and there is a quick flash of fire out the back side of the burner and then the fire dies. Anyone have suggestions? In the morning I'm going to get a new regulator order but I wanted to see if there were any other easier/quicker possible fixes? I should also mention that the regulator seems fine, the gauge stays consistent and I can adjust the psi, I've tried from like 5 to 15 to see and nothing works.

Mikey98118 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 It sounds likely that your burner has a build up of wax and tar in the gas orifice. You need to push a wire file from a set of torch tip cleaners ( $4 to $6 at a welding supplies store) through the orifice, both ways, to see if a little sticky black ball drops out.

Koby F Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) Is the gas orifice the bronze hole on the square bar connected to the gas line? Edited December 22, 2022 by Mod30 Excessive quoting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Welcome from the Ozark mountains. Looking at a picture of the NC Whisper Baby forge, I would say yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
