If the wick gets black from carbon, and does not light as easily, simply pull the wick up with a pair of pliers and cut the old part off so it is level with the chimney. After doing this a few times, you may need to buy a new wick since you remove some of it each time.

Why will your zippo spark but no burn?
Your Zippo may need fuel or a wick replacement .
What are the components of a zippo?
There are not alot of parts on a zippo lighter which is why it is such a reliable lighter. the main components are the flint, chimeny, flint wheel, case, case insert, cotton balls, wick, cam (that's what makes the famous zippo cling), and felt pad. there are other littlle components such as pins and the hinge on the case as well. you can replace all of the following parts yourself: the wick and flint. if you have any other problems you can send your zippo to the zippo factory in pennsillvaina and they will either fix it or replace it free of charge. hope I helped
How do you get a zippo flame like kenickys on grease?
get a looooong wick
Lighter has new wick but very hard to light?
before you put the wick in you need to get a little bowl of zippo fluid. Soak the wick in it for 5 minuets then allow it to dry then insert it into the zippo and then add zippo fluid to the lighter and set upsdie down for 5min then flip over and dry off top and use zippo. That simple. Your Friend David davidbtamplen@yahoo.com
How can you get your zippo to have a bigger flame and stay lit?

How do you install a ronson lighter wick?
To install a wick in a vintage Ronson lighter use the wire inserter that comes in every pack of ronson wicks. As per the instructions; use the inserter to insert the wick into the the hole where the wick goes. The bottom of the lighter cannot be taken off like that of a Zippo. I have a Vintage Ronson lighter collection and use some of the lighters regularly and had to replace some wicks. that is the only way to replace a wick. I do not think Ronson sells wicks with the inserter anynore. If you have a vintage Ronson lighter and need to replace the wick you need a vintage wick with the inserter. cheers
Why won't my Zippo light?
Your question is a bit ambiguous. I would say first, add fluid, make sure the fluid has soaked into the cotton, and keep the lid shut for a min before lighting. If that does not work then I would suggest moving the wick to the flint, this can be done by using a key and pushing the cotton-metal wick towards the spark end of the zippo. Suppose that does not work... you can always purchase zippo parts from a cigar shop and they will be more than willing to help you if you buy a pack of smokes from them! Last case buy a cheap zippo and put the center pice into yours... it will work fine and you will have your zippo art with a genuine zippo center! Remember if you have a problem with your official zippo, then they all have a lifetime guarantee, so you can always send it back to your regional zippo centre.
How do you replace the packing material in your Zippo if it gets lost?
Standard cotton balls. 5 for full sized, 4 for slim. Alternately you can keep an eye on eBay, I've seen Zippo branded packaging material on there OR send the lighter back to Zippo, they'll fix it up and return it to you with both your old and a new insert complete with new wick, flint, and packing.
