Mine did this a few days ago after a service!
Apparently it's a safety measure.
I cleaned the ignighters with a pin, metho and isopropyl, waited for it to dry (then went again for good measure). It sometimes continually sparks but on my top simply re-ignighting solved it (thankfully).
Hope it gets resolved soon because that's really annoying.
Looks like I should get around to cleaning those suckers. They probably haven't ever been cleaned...
Where did you get isopropyl alcohol, isn't it usually rather pricey in Australia? Reckon just metho would work?
Nah, isocol is just overpriced. Bosca, melbourne solvents or even just brown bottle it at a chemist.
Bunnings has some for cheap. Metho (and acetone) seem to work too.
