how can u say that you know that it works when theres no fuel inside it when u cant even tell if its sparking when there is fuel in it. truthfully i think either u have to much or to little fuel. that tends to be the hardest thing to overcome in a new cannon

spark: yes or no
if no, repaire spark
if yes, is chamber well vented after each try?
if no, vent ur friggin chamber
if yes, try varying amount of fuel sprayed
if it is weak, check for leaks in chamber and barrel, and fix it, also vary ur fuel.
if all else fails, try propane metering.

same stuff, also called LPG liquified propane gas.
most common canisters are the coleman lantern canisters(shorter fatter can, 2 more oz than long torch can) AND the redi-mate torch canisters (2 oz lighter, longer can)

nabu
i have had the same prob as u the sprker wont spark with feul in there and will spark if there is know fuel i have found that this is because when you spray your right gaurd or deoderant in it gets on the ends screws or wires or whatever and makes it so the spark wont work so i always put my sparker in the end cap to make sure the wires the spark jumps between does not get stuff on them and know my cannon fires every time so try that and tell me if it works.
