I am not the guru on this subject but I have had to clean a few used torches in the last year. Most were sold as Clean and Well Maintained...
I figure there are many tips out there to be shared with other members...
My two tips are
1. Follow the manufactures directions. If in doubt call them up...
2. Use quality hoses, saving a few bucks now will cost you in the long run. Be sure you have "T" rated hoses or you run the risk of the propane breaking down the interior of the hose and clogging the torch.
Here's my torch cleaning buddy...
He likes Honey Gram Crackers, Hotdogs and Apple Pie.
