What to do

[noname]

What do people do when you unscrew the back of a combustion because it isn't working and hit the sparker. Do you sit and watch the fitting melt or do other people actually do stuff about it?

[WOW!!]

I made the mistake of trying to blow it out.....................BAD idea lol. Try waveing it fast.

That has happened to me what i do is put the cap back on partialy leaving a little space uncovered and the fire turns off

[cannon freak]

If that happens take the gun and invert it and set it on the ground and the fire will suffocate.

i take a 500 gallon engine with a 2 and a half inch hose and spray the sucker down.

[Steve-]

lol, that'll do it

[mark.f]

Just screw the cap back on.

Yeah, I'm going to put my hand next to something that's spraying out 6" of blue flames. I tried blowing it out but it ended up melting the threads off.

[spud man]

Do what cannon freak said. Any kind of ground should work

[mark.f]

Uh... yeah? Those six inch of flames aint that hot. Just cap it off and screw it shut. Since you blew it out, you were adding more O₂ to the problem, which is another reason your threads melted.

Just shoving the bottom against the ground works too.

-OR-

Switch to propane metering, and you'll never have this problem again, (outside of testing). The last time I had a launcher that didn't fire was just before I made my meter, using starter fluid, and a few times here and there tuning in new launchers and their meter pressures.
