I'm just p***ed off that it doesn't work. It seems so simple, yet so... I feel stupid. Ok.
I really would like to get it working and avoid the hassle. I'm sure there is nothing mechanically wrong with it. It's a box of cotton stuff with a hole for a string and a sparky thing next to it.
Just for giggles, does heat adversely affect flints? I've been tilting it (no pun inteded) to the sides to burn off that blingy brass plating off the chimney. I wonder if the the heat (it got really hot) affected the flint or wheel somehow? Just a thought.
