I have this old home made jet burner given to me with a shut off valve used to adjust the flame.
If I crank my regulator up past 12 psi and start to open up the valve on the burner, the regulator shuts down and goes to 0, leaving me a weak yellow flame.

What is the deal? Is there a shutoff in the regulator if the flow gets too high?
I was on a new bottle as well. What are guys running jet burners with and at what pressures are they running them?

The hole for the flame on homemade burner may not be big enough to allow that much pressure.

Were you given the regulator with the burner?

You also could have some trash (rust, dirt dauber dirt) in the line.

Dump the regulator, get a needle valve.
