How to fix a ronson lighter how to#

It would be nice it the lighter worked !.any help would be appreciated. it looks like a piece of forked metal under the snuffer cap is broken. I think a part of the sparking mechanism is broken as the spark wheel does not turn. 2.The o-ring for the fuel cap disintegrated when the cap was removed. The wick needs replacing preferably with the Gold seal wick for Ronson lighters that has a wire inserter (it was very difficult to put in any other type.I got a Zippo wick which fitted but as it has not been lit I do not know if it will operate correctly. I have a Ronson'Queen Ann' Table Lighter which is not working.ДЎ. on this site, it has been very helpful and a bit of fun too.

Once you've got a spark, you can move on to the wick and wadding, which more often than not is OK. if it doesnt, go back and check the washer and gears. the flint wheel ought to turn as the snuffer raises. insert flint, screw in flint spring, and check for spark. align the top of the lever with the top of the snuffer, hold in place, and insert the screw/tube. Once youve confirmed that the flint will drop through the top flint hole all the way through the bottom, reassemble. don't remove the lever, though, as it is riveted in. you can take this opportunity to clear all those little bits you took out and polish the sides of the lever. make sure the flint tube is clear and not too narrow for a flint to fall right through. the washer is asymmetrical and engages the teeth on the side of the flint wheel.ДЄNYWAYS using a nail, small screwdriver, etc. there are two small gears, a flint wheel, and a washer inside which actuates the flint wheel. then, while applying slight pressure to the lever/snuffer, remove the screw on the other side (its not really a screw, just a tube to receive the first screw). To fix, remove the small screw on the side of the lever that you push down on. HELP November, 2012ДЄ common problem with these is that the lever wont push down all the way and this will not light. I need vintage Ronson wicks, the type that comes with the inserter. What about the ronson maximus that was released from 1952-53 it seems completely different from the rest Do you have to open the top of the lighter by prying it off? What's the hole with the screw in it under the green felt for? Whom would I take them to if I needed assistance?

I can't figure out how to replace the wicks, where the flints go, if the flints you can buy in the store known as 'fitting all Zippo pocket lighters' fit in my lighters and if the lighters require fluid. I have 3 'ASR Man' table lighters and want to make them functional again. Clearly they need new wick flints.,WHAT CAN I DO? , I just bought 2 Ronson table lighters, niether one work, (wasnt told when bought them) so how can i getthemwokin. These 3 pamphlets will be extremely helpful. My buddy just bought the Crown Ronson desk lighter and we were trying to figure out how to clean the lighter and get it working.
