I ended up getting a new spindle and that pretty much fixed it. It does candle for a few seconds after shutting off, as the previous commenter...
Hmmm. The candling is coming from the jet. I have tried 3, 4, and 5 clicks on the needle setting, repeatedly. The cone on the spindle is smooth,...
Thanks! Okay the curved face of the washer now faces the grapite packing. I'm not seeing a leak from the vaporizer at the packing nut. I can light...
