Default One burner does not light

We have a Frigidaire Electrolux brand gas cooktop. It has an
electronic ignition system that makes a spark at all four burners
when ever any of the burner knobs are turned to the light position.
One of the four burners has stopped sparking and it is the one we
use the most.

The burner that does not light is the high output one. It has the
largest gap between the spark output and the metal ring that the gas
comes out of. The spark is supposed to jump to the ring. I tried
using a screwdriver to decrease the size of the gap but there was
still no spark. I tried cleaning around the spark output but still
got no spark.

Here are some pictures:

Does anyone know what might be wrong and how I can fix it? Thank
you in advance for all replies.


It does not look familiar to me. Is there any spark at all? Assuming
there is some sort of spark, then I would look at the fuel supply - and
air/fuel mix.
