You have a serious problem somewhere in there. I would think about replacing the whole thing. Sounds like yours is shot now anyways.
Propane can be very dangerous as it expands over 300 times from its liquid form. Being a fireman, I have been to several structure fires and seen them blow.
Makes the old neck hairs stand up!

If ya gone that far fred, kill it and treat yourself to a new one. Better then blowin yerself to kingdom come and windin up in a hospital.

Sometimes I have to take the burners out and clean them in order to get back to the blue flame. Replace the regulator. Notice the difference between the refulators painted red and the plain silver ones. High pressure vs low pressure. You should have a silver regulator, if it's red, you will not get a small flame.
