<p>[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 170477, member: 360"]The lighter is somewhat reluctant to operate. The flint-wheel sparks, there's a fresh flint inside it, and there's juice in the tank. That said and done, it doesn't light on the first strike. It usually takes 2-4 flicks to get it going. I suspect that it's the (rather short) wick that is the problem. It is the original wick, and it either has a lot of trouble soaking up the fuel, or it's too short to work properly. I'm contemplating replacing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
