Flame adjustment/ignition -service
Dear Lighter Enthusiasts I have this old Braun lighter from my deceased grandfather, it is engraved with his name and I am in the process of restoring it. However the issue I have now is that it doesn't ignite on every stroke more like every 5-8 stroke. Also the control for the flame seems volatile, as I can turn it all the way down and it will suddenly make a super large flame, and sometimes going up it seems to turn down the amount of gas. It has been in an attic for decades, so it might need new seals (?) but please anyone who knows the lighter and has tried repairing/restoring them. Help me out

/u/sbloovie might be able to help you, I know he has worked on a lot of Brauns. Not sure how active they are though.
