Dumb Question about a Minor
This is probably a dumb question, but when you go to clean the little holes on the minor with the little pieces of wire that they send....which holes are the propane and which are the oxygen?? I know you're not supposed to use the same wire in both the propane & oxygen holes and each goes in at a different depth........hmmmmm......  .
Anyway...any help would be great!
Thanks!
Char

I believe on a minor the 7 (or is it 9) round holes (tubes) are the fuel holes. The oxygen comes from the space between the round tubes and outer "shell" of body.. You really only need to clean torch when you notice flame (candles) are distorted or noticably smaller that others or there is sever carbon build up.

Char,
Dale is correct - the round holes are the propane - use the wire to clean those and have your oxygen on so when you pull the wire out of each hole you don't drop any carbon down the oxygen openings. I run my generator for 5 minutes before and after torching so I don't use the wire to clean the oxygen ports. Also, I use a magnifying light which makes it easier to get that wire into those holes.
