    Hi All - OK - here's the real scoop on how to light your LT, or any
    other mixed fuel arrangement:  GOGO, as someone else said (sorry
    Karen).  Gas On Gas Off  - IE., when lighting the torch, gas on
    first, and when extinguishing the torch, gas off first. 

    Here's the link to the LT site's instructions for torch lighting
    which gives those instructions - http://www.lacywest.com/t_little.htm 

    and here's a bunch of other sites, all saying the same thing... 

    Purdue U -

    15. Slightly open the acetylene valve on the torch and then use the
    striker to ignite the acetylene. .... 19. When you are finished
    welding, the acetylene valve at the torch should be closed first, and
    then the oxygen valve should be closed secondly. 

    Eastern Michigan College of Technology-
    http://cot.emich.edu/rufe/welding.doc 

    1. Open the acetylene torch valve partially and light the torch. 
    Add oxygen to produce a  neutral flame.... 

    2. Turn off acetylene torch valve first to extinguish the flame and
    then turn of the    oxygen torch valve.
