[C320-list] Piezo Starter for CNG Seaward Stove

[kskis at aol.com]

I had this no-spark problem a year ago and didn't know about the burner/rust problem/solution.  I tried to order a replacement and found that the manual-start piezo assemply is no longer available but that you can replace the manual start with the electric/battery-operated starter.  I purchased the parts "kit" but haven't replaced yet-still just using matches to start.  The replacement requires some re-wiring but looks fairly straightforward.

On other devices, I have found that you will lose spark if the burner rusts. Cleaning the burner will fix it if that is the problem.

Piezo starter was working fine but now there is no spark.  All connections seem to be intact.  Anyone have experience with this phenomenon?  I’m assuming the best thing to do is replace the unit?
