I have one that leaks the fluid, as these all seem to practice at some stage. There is i retailer, I believe, that services them. Does anyone know who they are past chance?

A little boosted information to share. Thought I'd revive this thread, rather than launch a new one.
Just noticed SmokingPipes has listed replacement screws for the lesser of Old Boys and also replacement tamps.
I have some small screwdrivers in a plastic case. The chapeau becomes a tray for me to work over for flintstone replacement and to take hold of the spiral when refilling the butane. Nevertheless somehow the spiral but disappeared i day. A call to SP led to two possible leads, a few emails later, there was one dead cease and one place that was able to help -- to the tune of only shy of 8-bucks. The ones from SP are less. I was pleased to see them and thought I'd allow others know. Hopefully they aren't needed oft -- or mayhap ever -- just if yous do here is an easy mode to become a replacement while getting more than tobacco, pipe cleaners and, yeah, pipes.

And so, I accept an unused (bought brand new about a yr or so agone) rusticated briar Former boy that has an issue with the spark spindle mechanism. It is too loose, and it just spins free, without causing a spark.
How exercise you get nigh repairing this problem? Information technology arrived this way, but unfortunately I never tried to use it until about 4 days ago. Thank you all for the guidance.

I'm deplorable to be "that guy" but is there a flint in it?
Is the spring that pushes it in there?

Let me check over again about the spring, just there is definitely a flint in it.
Gimme a 2nd.
That'due south a yes on both the flint and leap. And there is tension on the bound.

I realize information technology may be an inconvenience. Only, if the solution isn't readily obvious after looking it over, think that IM Corona has a two yr no-charge warranty.

Bank check and make certain the screw property the striker wheel is tight. Information technology is a tiny screw visible in the middle of the striker cycle when viewed from the superlative looking straight downwards on the lighter.

Check and make sure the screw holding the striker wheel is tight. Information technology is a tiny screw visible in the eye of the striker cycle when viewed from the top looking direct down on the lighter.

Thank you Don. I noticed the screw, only information technology's pretty pocket-size. Let me go my glasses, lol...... I believe this the trouble.

A little additional data to share. Thought I'd revive this thread, rather than launch a new one.
Merely noticed SmokingPipes has listed replacement screws for the bottom of Quondam Boys and also replacement tamps.
I have some modest screwdrivers in a plastic case. The lid becomes a tray for me to work over for flint replacement and to take hold of the screw when refilling the butane. Still somehow the screw just disappeared i mean solar day. A call to SP led to two possible leads, a few emails after, there was ane dead stop and one place that was able to help -- to the tune of only shy of viii-bucks. The ones from SP are less. I was pleased to come across them and thought I'd permit others know. Hopefully they aren't needed often -- or maybe e'er -- but if yous practise hither is an like shooting fish in a barrel fashion to get a replacement while getting more tobacco, pipage cleaners and, aye, pipes.
for those of you in Europe Esterval's sell spares for the former boy, they will ship to Usa also

I tightened down the striker bicycle screw, but nevertheless no spark. Plus, I cannot hear the valve open to release the butane. What gives with this lighter? It literally has never been lit upwards. Any other advice?
