As far as I know the burner did light before I did the cooling unit replacement. We had it at the campground last summer until the end of September. When we unplugged it to bring it home I am not sure if the burner kicked on or not. Once we got it home we plugged it in. I do know it worked in about the middle of last summer because the electricity went out at the campground in a big storm. I went ahead and done the test with the screwdriver. I got a spark and even after I pulled the screw driver away I could hear it pulsing. So that would make it have to be something with the electrode correct? I did clean the electrode with some 1000 grit sand paper when i put it back together. How could I have shorted it out? From what I can see it looks like the tip is where it should be but I am not sure. I could post some pics of it if you think that would help. I really dont want to buy a electrode until I am sure I need it. Are the electrodes readily available? Thanks
