Atwood range electric start mod.

Not seeing any issues with the igniter wires. The insulation seems to be some sort of high temperature plastic although after 4 years the insulation on the existing igniters had cracked and shrunk. If your range burners don't light on the first turn of the knob (like ours did when our RV was new), they are probably cracked and shorting the spark to the range metal somewhere. As I mentioned, the wire inside the insulation is quite stiff and it's pretty easy to 'dress' the wires to where they are not touching any metal and they will stay where you bend them. That said, I'd be concerned about going crazy with bending them too much or the stiff wire might just break. Be careful.
