For anyone with Colibris that still generate a spark but wont light/stay lit....

Bleed them.. use a poker on the fill orifice. Hold it in your hand to warm it up before and while doing it. Bleed it until you cant hear anything with your ear right on it.

Refill and let it sit/warm up.

Might be surprised.

The link to the video up above tells the whole story. There were two factories that closed and they both dicked the people over the same way. Some dick named James Fleet was in charge.
Not only did everyone show up to find they no longer had a job, Mr. Fleet wasn't decent enough to post a note telling people when they could gather their personal effects. He'll post that whenever he pleases.
I expect a few people will be looking up Mr. Fleet to explain to him how people deserve to be treated.
He's obviously missed his simple human decency classes.

How can somebody like this Fleet guy sleep at night?

I imagine he's probably the guy who got handed the dirty job and handled it very poorly because he was afraid of the lashback.
I'm just giving him the benefit of a doubt.
If it's as it looks, my guess is that he's not sleeping at his house, anyways. His phone has to be ringing off the hook and there's a lot of folks with time on their hands who are probably standing at his door.

I'm guessing that he's from the same family that makes enema's. Least - it sure seems like he knows how to shove something up someone's ...

Either way, the guy's a dick and needs to be slapped with a lawsuit or a rather large trout!

thats just wrong to treat people that way the one colibri ligher that i had never worked good you could bleed it and refill it and talk sweet to it i got to the point where i just got pissed off at it and through it across the parking lot thats what you call tough love

Obviously this guy has no guts (balls , cojones ) . All it would take is a simple explanation and I'm sure most would understand . Those employees will be unhappy no matter what but the way they were let go just causes alot of anger and resentment . And as a side note , I have 2 Colibris that I don't have any problems with . When they wont light , I bleed them out and I actually do this with my Z-Plus insert as well . Air in the tank can cause them to not light .
