I have had the same issue come up.

I found I could usually get it lit with a low flame and that while it was leaking at the needle valve there were no big flare ups. If I got a match near it, a small flame would ignite. I have had 3 of them do this.

I hope someone comes up with an easy fix. I would be interested.
