blow torch flame disorientated

[Mgrant]

they flame on my blow torch has gone totally disorientated it has occasionally done his when I have had some solder drop in the nozzle. Once this was removed it has been ok. But now the flame is disorientated even though the nozzle that you can unscrew is clear. Any thoughts on what's going on?

As the Cropster says
Take it off and put it in the flame of another to burn the flux/crap out of it
Always works for me
