how dose tha sparker make a flame do you have aney pics

[gar3nc3]

nah no pics, its a piezo lighter ignition and two screws

[unipa]

and it makes a flame??
sounds like a regular ignitor. how close are the screws

[GalFisk]

You don't want to use the kind of lighter that makes a flame as is, but you can discard the butane system (or use it to fuel a pill bottle gun) and use the built in piezo for ignition. It's a bit more powerful than that of a disposable lighter, and already has leads attached.

no it doesnt make a flame, ive taken the piezo out the lighter and attached the wire to one of the screws and the gap between that screw and the other is about 34mm.....

[Benster]

34mm, if my conversions in head are anywhere near close, then you have a about an 1 1/3 inch gap am I correct? My experience with the mini peizo that are inside lighters, if you got a spark arc for that distance, then you were lucky, but I think your screws are to far apart for a consistent spark, try placing you screws closer together, or just try bending them closer together. That should help.

fixed now..... scard the shit outta me today.... i thaught id test it, so i sprayd lynx in the chamber (its onli a coke bottle) and left the lid off and no barrell as of yet. clicked the sparker and it went off. was like a jet flame out the end of the bottle!. lol think ive learnt not to underestimate anything again)
