Whats with ignitors being so expensive? And could they be more durable?
Anyone ever used a coil to make the spark?
Many years ago, Excell made a skid and modified a Wayne burner to ignite with a 12 volt coil and Chevy points/condenser. It worked ok, but was prone to vibrating out of adjustment. Alkota used to use a Fairbanks Morse magneto (like you'd find on an old tractor) to ignite.
