<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 171230, member: 360&quot;]After a lot of cleaning, I finally got the lighter working. I was able to completely disassemble the lighter (including taking out the flint-wheel) and going over it with cotton-buds and lighter-fluid to clean everything out. </p><p><br /></p><p>Previously the lighter wasn&#039;t sparking at all. I originally thought this was because the flint was dead, or because the wheel had worn down, but closer examination told me that it was probably because the wheel was clogged with gunk. Removing it from the lighter proved this to be the case! </p><p><br /></p><p>Picking out the grit between the corrugations on the wheel is proving tricky, but the lighter is now sparking much better, and I&#039;m getting ignition much more readily than I was previously. </p><p><br /></p><p>Once I&#039;ve successfully cleaned out all the grit, I&#039;m pretty sure this will work like new! It&#039;s my belief, founded on my experience that most things that don&#039;t work aren&#039;t actually broken. They&#039;re just really, really dirty...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
