Are there any other tater gun owners here?
This is one I've had for a while. It had a cheap crappy grill igniter. One of those that only sparks once every time you push it. I got fed up with those so I upgraded it to use a spark gap igniter. After messing with it for over a month, I think it will finally work every time. It was shorting out through the moisture that accumulated inside after a couple shots.
Now it works even after about 10 shots.
