I just spent the last 30 minutes clicking the "do not recommend channel" on all the garden videos YT insists I want to see. Think they'll go away? Now I'm not recommending, leaving shitty comments and giving lawn videos a thumbs down.
opening the bleeder screw does nothing for this. the valve has a safety in it if you open to fast it will close. to solve this then close valve wait a minute then open the valve SLOWLY. it will work fine.
I had it happen yesterday, a brand new exchange tank was being stingy and not letting gas out. After a bit, I decided to spray cold water on it, worked fine afterwards!
17 videos later, I found your video . and one other who showed this easy fix .. hopefully this will fix my problem , I already switched to a different tank so I know my equipment works .
No, just no. Here's the deal...that little set screw has one purpose: Its a bleeder valve for checking the liquid level in the tank and for expelling excess fuel. That's it. Low flow issues happen when you open the valve too quickly and it activates a safety feature in the valve that cuts off supply. About 95% of the time, this is the reason. You have to reset the float valve by banging the tank (butt first) on the ground. BBQ's may also take some time to allow air to purge out of the line and light the burners. You may have to wait several minutes for this. A failing regulator can also do this. If you mess with that bleeder, make darn sure there are ZERO nearby ignition sources or you're gonna have a very bad day.
