Mine's not sparking. It's fill of fluid and I can light it with another lighter. So it just not throwing an ignition spark. Is there a fix for this?

Did you check to ensure there is no fouling of the ignition wire? This happened on my previous torch and I never could get the igniter clean enough to use again...so I ordered a new torch.

Mine was purchased as a gift so haven't had experience with the new version. Sounds like a defective unit. Don't think they are consumer fixable.

I have no clue. This new "child proof" Roburn is not nearly as good as the old one I had. It always takes at least three try's to get mine lighted. Their efforts to meet government regulations or make a "safer" product are a disaster. Very disappointing.

I had the same problem with one I had before so after many many tries I gave up and bought a new one that has been ok so far. The first one lasted a few years but haven't used the new one much yet. Sometimes I was able to light the old one by turning down the volume of gas while using the spark. Was really glad to throw the first one away as it was so unreliable. I looked for replacement parts but couldn't find any. Good luck!!

I've only had mine awhile but I learned if you turn it to pilot, hold it down for 5 seconds then push the ignitor, it lights.

I purchased the same heater last year and had the same problem. It looked like the gas wasn't blowing up on the spark close enough to get it ignited. I had to lean down and lightly blow between the spark and the end where the gas comes out. That got it lit.

I've seen it work on worse (much worse!!) Before you try it, drain the tank and rinse it with clean gas, then put it back on and you should be ready. You probably ought to take out the spark plug and clean it, too, then while it's out, crank the engine enough to get the smell of fuel coming out the spark plug hole. If it still won't fire, it's not the fuel's fault.

Yes, it should have flint included in the lighter. Mine did. I just added Zippo Lighter Fluid and had flame. If it doesn't spark, just unscrew the compartment and insert one flint. It should work.

Sounds like it's broken. I had one that didn't light up and it was broken. You don't need to press anything to make it light up. It should just do it! I pressed all the buttons on my first one and, still, nothing happened. It was broken. The second one I had (the part that you plug into the lighter) lit up and then the little square on the cord also showed radio stations.~hope this helps and good luck!

Yes, we have experienced a few times that we were not able to light it. It seems to be similar to our Bar-b-que in terms of our inability to light it up. Which usually points to one of two things: either bad lighters or bad operator. I'm afraid it may be more of the latter! I know it's frustrating but we keep a lighter near the unit in case it doesn't light.

I understand that is new but I am still of the opinion that either the burner holes are clogged by some debris or the propane gas valve is not fully opened so not enough pressure reaches the rear side of the burner - you have only one ignition system and that means that either it ignites or it does not, and in your case, it does, so to me it looks like the fuel doesn't make it all the way - I'm not an engineer but have been struggling with this very pretty grill for years; I buy and change the burner every year ($49)! ... I also have a full size propane can and purchased a full size hose adaptor and connector (approx. $14)... Good luck!

Sounds like the gears are bad ....or the motor has a short. Switch pasta machines and see if there is still sparks.

Oh wow! Well, they are all shipped without fuel to avoid hazard. I ordered Zippo fuel which works great. You need to hold the fuel canister upside-down to allow the fluid to drip into the lighter. Maybe there was a flaw in the lighter fluid can?

mine worked OK for a while but then I could not get it to light.I finally put on a new regulator and it worked for a while but it is now dead again. You can disconnect the hose afyer the regulaoor and turn on the gas to see if anything is getting thru.

Try to bleed out the system. Hold down the gas button for like 15 seconds then hit the ignite button. Fire should light. If no fire then theres no gas. If the fire starts hold the gas down for another 10 seconds then let go. It should stay on. If that doesn't work then the sensor in it might have died. Cant remember the name of the sensor but that happened to me before. When it died i just bought a new one.

Check for spark first. Check on of switch 1=on and 0=off. Check gas valve, is it on? No spark could mean a bad spark plug and if not then I would send it back!John Judge

I have had mine for over a year using it consistently and have only replaced two and very recently the third. I have never had any problems with sparks. Where is the sealer sparking? I have used mine on highest setting and have not had any problems though it will shorten the life of the element. You might just have a faulty unit. I would double check to see that the element is screwed in snug at both ends. Possibly take the bottom off and expose the wiring and look for soot on wires or possibly case. Always do this with the unit unplugged.

The gas ring may have grease and such clogging the holes were the flame comes out. This happened to us. We could hear the click from the ignitor but it never fired up, we took a grill brush to the ring under the grate were the flame usually comes out and voila! It worked. Good Luck!
