Thought I would share this.
This time of the year we go through all the grills and give them a thorough cleaning getting them ready for what will be for some of them their pre hibernation cleaning.
We did the NG E320 gasser and when I went to use it the other night it wouldn’t light. The electric Ignitor was clicking away as usual but no fire. Had to light it manually.
I figured that we got some junk in the burner tube by the igniter so today I cleaned it. Still would not light. I could see the igniter sparking but nothing. If I took the FB that’s over the igniter box out it would light, put the FB back and nothing.
Just for giggles I replaced the battery, bingo works great again.
So if you have an ignition problem with an electric igniter and you see the spark and it still won’t light it might just be a weak battery.
