You have to fiddle with the control knob to get it burning with a blue flame and yes, when you pump it when lit you still have your finger over the hole. 

Have you made sure you turned the little lighting lever up to light then back down after a minute?

 takes a little practice to get right, but when you do its an excellent cooker, buy yourself a JML griddle that fits over the top to make a great hotplate, i have cooked full breakfast for 6 on one £10 from woolies when they have them in

I have had one of these for the best part of 15 years and find that the best bet is to light the other burner even if you are not using it. It stops any flare ups completely on mine and its a great cooker.
