tip into position. (BE CAREFUL NOT TO
BREAK THE CERAMIC INSULATOR)
If the ceramic insulator on the electrode is
cracked it may short out, Replace the
electrode.

connected to the spark box and to the
electrode.
Split insulation on the wire could cause the
igniter to short out. Replace the wire lead.
