My igniter keeps breaking...

[Pyro_Boy]

Hi I bought a bbq igniter(sparks when you push the button) it works fine but when we put it in and bolt it it stops sparking except for odd one (1 in 20 pushes). When we take the igniter out it doesnt work anymore ether.

Can anyone give me a reason thx.

Get a new one. One of the wires is probs damaged,

I hate bbq ignitors. I've experienced nothing but misfire problems with them. (I'm sure it's ignitors fault and not mine! lol)
You should just upgrade. For a few more bucks, you can pick up a cheap 65,000 volt stun. I got mine on ebay for twenty dollars, and that included shipping. It arrived in two days. Doesn't get any easier.

or you can go to a car ignitio coil, this will caost you around $12 and if you have someone to go step by step with you it can be a great ignitor. i just figured them out and i would be more then happy to help you to learn. the way i have been ding it is with jsut the coil some wire a 9volt battery or two lantern batteries and a momentary switch. PM if you need help0
