Just got a good deal on a Weber Q200 grill from Craigslist. It has never been used. Previous owner bought it new from Home Depot, but didn't take it out of the box for almost a year. When he did set it up he found that the push button ignitor would not light the grill. Since it was a year old, HD would not take it back, so he sold it at a bargain on CL.
It's strange because on a cold start, the first time I try and light it, he's correct it will not ignite the gas. However, I've found that if I light it one time manually with a match or lighter, then turn it off.......it will then light easily from the spark produced by the ignitor (that is until it sits awhile, then again it won't work).
Has anyone ever encountered this? Any ideas short of replacing the ignitor?
