Thanks. I actually tried to make this one look and work good. And it does!!
Above, I mentioned I removed the stun gun and tied in an electric BBQ instead. I had a slight problem re-installing the strip, so here is what I did:

- The large screws are flipped around and held onto the strip with an extra nut. This holds the screws in place and allows for much easier installation.

I have yet to have a misfire, but I've only tested the BBQ igniter a couple of times.
As far as reliability goes, the stun gun is more reliable, but I need to use it on my hybrid. Right now, it's the only thing I have that will fire it.

The reason I asked is because I was trying to decide what I would use for my ignition source, and I have been undecided between an electric BBQ igniter and a stun gun.
Although, I can easily interchange the two if one option doesn't work out.

The stun gun tends to produce a much heavier spark, but, for a normal combustion, any spark will do. The BBQ igniter is easier to wire up and I got mine to throw a spark of about 1/2".
They both run about the same price (considering you obtain a cheap stun gun).

The electrodes are about 1/8" apart.
I tested the igniter, prior to installation, and could maximize a spark at 1/2". I was a little skeptic about it, however, which is why I eliminated the gaps, except for the central one.
I have yet to test the new igniter with the triple gap, but I have seen no performance loss with one spark versus three sparks, so I'll probably just keep it the way it is now (unless I manage to get another stun gun).
