Bought this for hot jointing asphalt as trust aren’t keen on surfacing lads heating watering cans in a burning pallet fire in half a drum!

That’s my 80 year old dad who’s taken it on himself to fix it it seems haha

Thermocouple either faulty (looks new?) or not getting a good heat signal, or got a bad connection or the coil in the gas valve weak. The flame playing on the thermocouple looks pretty weak, likely a blocked jet or air port on that. Try using a blow lamp gently on to the tip of the thermocouple to see if it holds without the button being pressed.
