[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 569736, member: 1365"] All else being normal, I wonder if the wick is to blame. If it’ll light at picket temp but not room temp the difference must be in how much fuel is being volatilized by the wick. Have you tried it at different heights? Have you tried “fluffing” the tip to different degrees? I used to have my wicks quite narrow and it didn’t work as well. That wick is what’s allowing or dis-allowing the transfer of volatile fuel up from the tank to where it will catch. Have you tried putting new flints in? Maybe a greater degree of “spark” would help. Good luck. Once you figure out “the cure” share it with us. It could help everyone here. [/QUOTE]
