New torch not getting fuel
Hi all. Brand new to lampworking, just got my first torch set up. I connected everything, pressurized the lines, tested for leaks, and after confirming everything was good, sat down to start breaking some glass. I have a nortel mega minor, so I turned on the propane first to light it, but it wouldn't light with the striker, so I tried a lighter, still no luck. I shut off the fuel and started to turn the oxygen when I heard it hiss, so that's working. The line is showing 3.5 psi on fuel but I can't hear or feel anything coming out. I read that sometimes it takes a bit to bleed out the air but I opened the fuel all the way for a good minute or two. Plus, I would think even if there was air in the line it would still be pressurized too so I'd be able to detect something coming out. Any ideas or suggestions?
