Sheen x500 flame gun
« on: June 10, 2007, 17:37 »
Hi everyone,
just got myself a Sheen X500 flame gun through Freecycle, thinking it was kinder to the soil than weed killer and bound to be more fun :D .
the trouble is it only works pointing upwards, when it is pointed at the weeds it goes out. Does anyone have any ideas what might be amiss with it?

Thanks

Phil
if in doubt ...brew up

its a blocked jet or dodgy valve/ fuel pick up problem. should be simply/cheap to fix. :D

I phone the manufacturers up, who advised me it was probably a blocked filter.
Soon there advice I dismantled it, but unfortunately the valve was pushed on to the pipe at one end and fell apart instead of unscrewing, so now I need to remove the old threaded bar from the valve, thread some more pipe and cut and join it all together to make it the right length.
