I built a dual ignition for my torch. I took a piece of 1" dia tube
about 4 inches long. At one end I drilled a series of 1/8" holes around
the circumferance of the tube, 1" from the end. 1/4" from then end I
placed two 1/8" holes, these get threaded and and are for set screws to
hold the device to the end of the torch.
In the middle I drilled two 1/2" holes opposite each other. On to these
I welded a couple threaded inserts. Into these I screwed in some bosch
platinums. I had a couple coils laying around, wired these up to a temp
contact switch and a 1100 deep cycle battery. Both plugs are wired to
fire at the same time.
Basically you turn on the acetalyn to about 15 psi. Hold down the
contact switch for 1-2 seconds and then release.
Flames shoots about 4-5 out the end of the torch. Pretty sweet :)
