Problems with gas cooker

[GASMAN10]

Hi

Have a customer who is having problems with gas cooker, have not been to job yet.

Sometimes one of the gas rings takes a while to light. Obviously it could be ignition, but also could the gas tap be sticking? If sticking, it is possible to unstick, or does it need replacing.

Many thanks

if the gas tap has got full of rubbish, just strip it down and re - grease it

should be ok

May sound stupid but make sure is graphite grease.
Molykote is one manufacturer. normal grease is not acceptable
