I have a had a kerosene/#1 oil weed burner torch for 40 plus years and lost the instructions 39 years ago.
It is a simple pump-up device that holds about a gallon of fuel.
The only control besides the pump is a gate type valve with very small orifices. There is no pressure gauge.
The only identifying thing on it is a small one-way valve on the bottlom of the air pump, which has "Mono Valve 151-400." This number seems to be standard on Hudson garden sprayers.
I cleaned it thoroughly and can get it to work, but not well. It should put out a serious jet of flame. Mainly it goes out when tipped at the angle used to burn weeds.
Does anyone know the settings to start with: How many pumps, how open the valve? Then how to fine tune it as you go.
Happy to provide more details if necessary.
Thanks.
