Bump for the great advice from Greg.
I revived a three year old Ronson that I had given up on. Works like new.
Thanks Greg

Man, I wish I had known this a long time ago. Have tried to revive several lighters over the years, and I could never figure out how to fix this problem.

There will be the occasional Jetlite that will want to be turned WAY up
or it will not stay lit. Cheap, good lighters, but they can be quirky and
some may just flat out cease to work. Another thing that happens is
when the butane can grabs onto the filler nib and holds on when the butane
is removed. You end up with no way to fill the lighter. I have two of those.
I use them to hit people in the street that pass by and bother me with their
looks.
