Lighter issue

dannyboy · 10-20-2008, 05:10 PM

I have had a Colibri lighter for years now. I know, I know, everyone bashes Colibri, but this thing has been great and super reliable for 4+ years, besides it was a gift from my GF. The issue is that when I fill the lighter, the fill valve stays pressed down slightly, allowing the butane to leak back out of the lighter. I bleed the lighter fairly often and use good lighter fluid. Anyone know a fix for this? Do I need to get a new lighter? Will Colibri service this (I have no warranty or purchase info)? Any help would be great.
