Rothenberger Super Fire 2 faulty

[Sfc]

has anybody ever come across the same problem I'm encountering with my super fire 2 torch at all. When I screw a gas bottle on to it the gas hisses out of the little pin hole centre of the trigger body. Had it apart and messed about with it but nothing seems untoward. Cheers to anyone that can help, don't really fancy buying another one but I'm getting a bit fed up of using the quick fire now it's just not the same

washer missing from torch?

 

[Sfc]

Not that I can see, where abouts would the washer be do you know

 

[plumben]

Mines done that from new,

Its just where the pin is pushing into the gas bottle but the bottles not fully tightened on yet

Ring Rothenberg up or get hold of rep, I've had things over the years with them , they have sent out service kits, that includes everything except the handle, Give them a call nothing to loose, except the cost of the call

Yes. Also I remove bottle after each use as they recommend and the thread wears after 9 months. Emailed them but they are. Not interested.

I haven't seen a rothy rep for a year or so now, have 3 or four sf2 with various issues laying around, I keep meaning to make one good one from them.

If there's gas coming out the whole below the trigger then the torch is basically dead. A repair kit IF you can get one won't sort the problem. New torch time!

Leave the bottle in like the rest of us... Just make sure you lock the trigger & turn off the gas tap??? Why unscrew every time...

My torch at the moment does it just randomly started one day. I've used all my knowledge being a gas safe engineer and taped it up with electrical tape!!!

Its a pressure relief point for when initially attaching newer bottles as there is a chance of higher pressure.

Spoke with Rothy about this before and they basically said that the torch is FUBAR and their service kit wont repair it.
