Hi All
customer today had problems getting the above gas fire to light.
after inspection it appeared that the ignition lead from the pizzo to the electrode was the problem in that the spark was eminating through the small ceramic block that the electrode tip was fixed into and thus sparking below the pilot head. I couldnt see a crack in the ceramic so tried moving it slightly further up to see if it helped as there didnt seem to be a fixed position for it.
my question is do they normally spark against the thermocouple (which is angled slightly over the pilot head) or the edge of the pilot head itself
on either position is still struggles to light but i suspect the spark is not all it can be
the pilot lights no problem with manual ignitor by hand
new lead is on order (2 weeks delivery)
cheers in advance
