I've just taken it apart and cleaned it.
Not in bad nick.
I find a wick laying around the coil and jet.
As such, I guess the technique is to soak the wick in meths, ignite
the wick, then proceed after the meths is about gone.

Cleanliness points noted re jet and paraffin quality.
I've just poked around in the jet with a paper clip.

I'll give it a go tomorrow.
If OK, it's a good 20 pounds worth - they sell for ~145 online !
