Do-It-Yourself Story

The video was a big help, showing just how easy the repair is. The Q&A was also valuable because it said the black heads were interchangeable with the original gray ones. They are and the black heads are considerably less expensive.The biggest challenge was breaking the severely rusted heads loose. A strap wrench took care of 3 of them, but the fourth crumbled and had to be rotated with a hammer and chisel. After that, it was a very easy repair. (Other than cleaning burned-on ... stuff!) I had some trouble getting a burner or two to light correctly with the sparker. There is a tiny hole just below and behind the electrode where the spark should jump. It had been painted over so the spark went above the insulator where it doesn't light as well. Chipped the paint, bent the electrode slightly and no problem. Took less than 15 min. per burner.
