Troubleshooting Steps; Piezo Wire Loose Or Damaged; Spark Electrode Too Far From Pilot Hood; Piezo Not Grounded - Travis Industries Spirit 300 GS Service Manual

Piezo Wire Loose or Damaged

Make sure the orange wire is attached to the piezo igniter and is not damaged (make sure it has not
contacted the bottom of the burner pan).
Remedy
Connect the piezo wire, making sure the connection is tight (crimp slightly if necessary). If the wire is
damaged, replace the pilot assembly which includes a new piezo igniter wire.

Spark Electrode Too Far From Pilot Hood

The spark electrode should be no more than 1/8Ó from the pilot hood. You should see the spark travel
from the electrode to the pilot hood.
Remedy
Bend the spark electrode so that it is within 1/8" of the pilot hood. The diagonal offset in the electrode
allows it to be bent closer to the pilot hood if necessary (use needle-nose pliers).

Piezo Not Grounded

The grounding tab must make contact with the mounting plate.
Remedy
If you suspect the piezo igniter is not grounded, remove it and check to make sure the tab is exposed
and undamaged. Bend the piezo grounding tab out or replace the piezo igniter.
