I've got a New World Royale 600 gas cooker with a self-lighting oven - you
turn the gas on and the sparker clicks away until the oven lights.

First, how's it do that then?

It is by flame rectifcation when the oven ignites the ignition generator
senses the flame in the spark gap and turns off

Second, it only works when it feels like it - about 7 times in 10. Any
idea
why?

What happens when it does not work ? Do you mean you mean it doesnt ignite
or does not stop sparking when oven is lit ?
