Found a Maruman GL-67 at a flea market — need help getting it to work

Hey everyone, I recently picked up a Maruman GL-67 at a flea market for cheap and I'm pretty stoked about it. It's in decent shape but I can't get a flame out of it.

The flint works fine — I'm getting sparks — so I'm pretty sure the issue is somewhere in the gas/tank side of things. There's still gas in it, but nothing comes out at the burner.

I found a repair/maintenance tutorial online but unfortunately it's in a language I don't understand, so I can't follow along.

Has anyone here worked on one of these before? Any tips on what to check or how to get it running again would be massively appreciated. Happy to share the video link too if anyone wants to take a look.

Thanks!

Help me identify this lighter

Hi everyone,
I recently added this lighter to my collection and I’m having trouble identifying it beyond the obvious. It’s clearly a trench lighter and runs on petrol, but that’s about as far as I’ve gotten. There are no engravings, stamps, or maker’s marks anywhere on it. It’s notably heavy for its size. I picked it up in Germany, though that doesn’t necessarily tell us much about its origin.
Picture attached – any help with age, maker, or country of manufacture would be greatly appreciated!
