harbor freight weed burner

[Raul-02]

Got it hooked up & got propane in the tank, but when I pull the trigger it gives me a short instant of higher flow and then dies immediately

Many of the new valves still have the LH thread on the inside. At least on RV tanks.

sounds like wrong tank for the fitting. or wrong fitting for the tank.
Maybe a adapter is available

Weird, I use that fitting with propane bottles on my cutting torch.

Yah I was kicking myself after figuring that out. Never even looked inside

Is this a brand New torch or an older one, Harbor Freight had a recall on those a while back

"All propane tanks built in the last years have an excessive flow regulator. If it senses a leak in your system it dramatically reduces the flow out of the tank. This often happens if you have a burner in the on position when you open the propane tank.

Maybe try going slow to full burn? Just a thought

What size tank are you putting it on?

Do you have the valve on the tank all the way open?
