Zippo, won't light (has fuel, flint, wick, etc)
Hi, this is my first post here.
I recently got a Zippo as a present, and the first time I filled it it worked fine. Well, a while later, I decided to pull out a bit of the wick and trim it. Now, it only lights VERY rarely, if at all. Since then, I've taken out all the cotton stuff and repacked it, making sure the wick is wrapped around in there, filled it up to the brim but no dice. It lights every time if I put another lighter to it, so the fuel part works, but why do the sparks not do anything?
What do I need to look out for? is the wick too frayed? too close/far/crooked from the wheel? Flint dirty? It sparks just fine... My thumb hurts...
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
