    Thanks for showing this. I just got one and couldn't figure out how to replace the flint. Fixed it as it has 2 spare flints.

      I hope you have better luck that I did. Thanks for watching!

    That's a 1956-1960 Rollagas. This would be the second commercially available variant of the rollagas, and my personal favorite. Good luck with it, it's absolutely worth saving.

    I'm actually nearly convinced that this is Clint Eastwood......sounds so much like him ;-D
    Fixed my lighter - thanks!

    Nice video. You can have it professionally repaired by Dunhill or a watchmaker. Looks like a nice model, so worth thinking about.!

      That's great advice. If I used a lighter frequently that's what I would do.

    That little seal you put into the needle not in the screw then the spring and back into the brass holder

      The lighter had me stymied! I think it's too complicated so I'm going to stick to wooden kitchen matches! Good luck with the tranny project, keep me posted!

    i dont know if you repaired your Rollagas but you did the repair completely wrong, i have recently uploaded a video repairing a needle valve i think you should take a look, good luck my friend 😊

    Do you know to unscrew the filler valve? I just can’t seem to find the right size of a screwdriver that fits.

    • @davidgpo
      @davidgpo  Год назад +3

      You might have to grind a screwdriver to fit it.

    Don’t waste your money if your dunhill breaks down. I spent $15 on a repair kit and another $20 for gas and a month of working on getting this fixed and it Still doesn’t work. I’m throwing it in the trash and using a $2 disposable lighter from now on. Learned my lesson the hard way!!!!!!

  • @rafaeltorre1643
    @rafaeltorre1643 Год назад

    I use pliers. I don’t recommend new people to though. Don’t press hard and shake one hand/pliers side to side instead of straight apart and it comes right off. Otherwise it may seem impossible. The acetone and alcohol will destroy the pad/filter. You must poke a micro rod or a wire from the tie on a loaf of bread and strip the paper or plastic on it off and stick it through. He gave you those sponges to put them in as they were. Less sponge means less control. Especially if using porous material.

    Wrong way to use a fork a be careful with the spring inside can jump out,you can for sure use 2 pliers and is very soft material becuse you can ruin the needle iniside then you must straight it out..

    Why didn’t you replace the sponge? Thats your flame adjustment! Without it you can’t control it! It’s just like a crack lighter. You have to put the sponge in. All that work and missed the most important part! :)

      Hi, when you say 'sponge' what part are you referring to exactly? Thank you!

    • @rafaeltorre1643
      @rafaeltorre1643 Год назад

      @@narmi3134 Sponge aka pressure regulator aka filter. Its all referring to the same thing. Have you ever taken off that white wheel that you adjust on a clear Chinese lighter and looked under? Theres a disk w/ a sponge with a hole in the middle. Thats what you need. Cut to size. Without that you cannot adjust the flame. It will either be clogged or a flame thrower! Let me know if you have any more questions. I rebuild vintage lighters.

      @@rafaeltorre1643hey, can you help me out please? I’m trying to work on my rollagas and I order same kit as in this video to rebuild lighter. I’m trying to repack the course flame adjustment screw and this kit from eBay came with filter disk and filter pad(sponge). Do I need to put in the filter disk first and then put sponge on the top? Do I need to punch hole in the disc or no?
      When I removed the old filter sponge it didn’t have a disc on the bottom so that’s why I’m asking
