[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 257328, member: 1723"] Lots of good helpful advice here. Thank you gents. Actually I've been wondering if there isn't something up with the spark from the wheel. Maybe it's not throwing off enough spark due to being gummed up or not enough tension on the flint, but the spring seems just fine in that regard. I'll try cleaning off the wheel with a toothbrush and some lighter fluid and see how that works. Don't think it's anything with the wick - as I said I just pulled a new length up and trimmed it just right so it's not all carbonized up or frayed. If all that doesn't work I have no problem shipping it back to Zippo for a fix. They sure do seem to be great on the lifetime guarantee/CS front and they stand behind their product. Might have to put up with not having it for a few weeks if that's the case. NBD. Again, thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. :cheers: Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
