Change your tips,,,sounds like one is pitted,, also check the swirl ring is in right,,,the pilot arc should maintain as long as the trigger is depressed..watch the height of the tip,,too low will also snuff the pilot arc..

Not sure there is a top and bottom difference on the swirl ring in the S45 torch, some of the other model torches there is.

probably not a difference on the hole orientation,,,however on some rings there maybe an up side to point the holes in the right direction...depends if you are above or below the equator...toliets in N. America rotate one direction when flushed and ones in Austrailia rotate the other direction,,,that's how you know when your ship has crossed the equator,,,check on the toilet bowl when you flush..

On the S45 it is unidirectional. On the 81, it is directional and if you look at it, it will come obvious.
