I have a big old 6-burner Crown (model H3005702 845-242KG0E-10) natural

burners work just fine if lit with a match.

Crown has been out of business for decades now.

Does anyone know where to buy parts, or retro-fit parts? *For instance,
I bet the same spark igniters were used on numerous makes and models of

What sort of spark generator? A piezo pushbutton or something with an
actual coil hooked to AC? If you cruise around the big boxes, you can
usually find piezo replacements over in the grill section this time of
year. Usually fit into a 3/4-7/8" hole. Might be all that's needed
is to clean the spark gaps and regap. Wiring might have perished
insulation, too. No spark if it's jumping out somewhere other than
the gap.

It is electronic, powered by 120 vac. When one turns the gas all the
way up on a burner, a switch closes and the generator makes a spark
every second or so. When the burner ignites, one sets the knob to the
desired flame height. From listening, it seems that a given spark
generator drives two burners, but I'm not quite sure.

Spark leakage may be an issue, but it doesn't kill the other spark.
