And what is dying, there is no spark or something else?

Spark is a good, ie, It is the same as it was when ignited? Wick normally sticks?

Petrol Lighter starts if the wick soaked with gasoline gets a spark.

If no spark, the causes can be either lighter mehannike (not spinning wheel or scored), or flint or is bad or not, or a soak (water, gasoline, etc. saliva. Liquid).

If the spark is there a problem in the fuel system. Mild sticks (or not in) a wick, or it ran out of gas is not supplied to the wick. Or it's not gasoline. :)

More then there can be nothing.

If there is a spark and the wick is normal sticks, try to ignite, even from the match. How will ignite, it could even dry.

Lighter on my untrained eye not folding.

Is it possible to replace the wick and cotton?

Of course :) She is the pope has a screw through which you refuel it? There's wool. So, through this hole is removed and wool, and the fuse changed. However, if no experience, I do not advise to do it - on their first time, this task is not as trivial :)

In general, yes, the description is non-wetting of the wick or gasoline, or a weak spark. As soon as a match lit the fuse ... Try to put another flint for example?

It helps. It seems to me,

lighters have this quite a distance from the wheel

with silicon to wick and may need a stronger spark. Maybe I should try to clean the wheel? If you do not help, you can contact

help to replace the wick and cotton?

Igor gladly help you, if the problem is not solved itself :) Write, Contract, pass me a cigarette lighter for a couple of days.

I had a similar problem. The point here is not likely in gasoline and in cotton. Rather beam sparks produced by the rotation, uh .. tight enough. The distance between the wheel-wick is actually more than the others. Lighters. Therefore, the beam must be greater than sparks. In my case I solved this problem by careful selection of the flint wheel and cleaning may matter flint pressing spring. Like this. ))

Sorry for the question, "teapot", and how to choose a flint

and what better to put in such a situation?

The same would be very grateful if somebody could describe

subtleties to replace the wick and filling in some of these lighters

put the wick.

The wick should be to cotton and thick, such as "string", as the old Ronson, zippovsky reinforced should not put - looks ugly. Subtleties immediately obvious: we need a fine forceps :))) Well, sure hand, of course, pervosti pull all cotton through a narrow opening is not easy. Vata can take an ordinary cotton in the pharmacy, cotton balls. The wick is inserted from the top, moisten the tip and roll, and then push, as if slightly screwing on short length; then pick up a pair of tweezers and pull from within. The length of it should be at least 10. cm Sometimes the truth is necessary to fasten the wire at the end of the wick and pulling for her, if so he crawls or not it is difficult to pick up from the inside. In general, anything super complicated in this, but the first ever protrahatsya can sometimes be pretty :)

Generally they mnogo..zippovskie, an old alfa, you can try black jobon noname kakoy- or anything. I earned the old black, here it is necessary to experiment in short, can and will approach from the one-time ...
