Propane Weed Burner

I have a propane weed burner that is probably plugged. It flames for just a couple seconds, then the flame dies way back - doesn't go out, but not enough to burn any weeds either. I found some wire small enough to run up the small orifice at the tip where the fire comes out, but that didn't help and I don't know where to check now. It's this torch.

Mower Motor - B&S Engine model 9P702 0005 F1 or Honda GCV160

Team - I have had carb problems with my B&S 9P702 and I have a new one now (replaced by Lowes) that is starting and running fine. I did notice it used some oil after about 20 hours of running using 30 weight oil. I had a B&S Briggs that run for 10 years with out ever using oil. All that said this using oil before the warranty runs out bothers me. Do you see this problem normally on a new mower?? Now is one much better served by getting the Honda motor model GCV160?? Need your thoughts.
