I own several IMCO lighters, and find they are the best cheap pipe lighter available. Having said that, I own many lighters including Dupont, Dunhill, and im Corona (Savinelli). I clean all my lighter valves with a toothbrush dipped in denatured alcohol.
I recently cleaned one of my IMCOs, and FAIL! Apparently the denatured alcohol dissolved something in the lighter and it no longer works.
So my advice is not use denatured alcohol (or perhaps any form of alcohol) to clean an IMCO.
