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 to spark?
If you have not tried spinning the wheel on the Zippo try that. I know that seems obvious but someone might not know that. Or if you have tried that and it does not work then you need a flint for your Zippo. These are usually sold separately from the Zippo. Once you have the Zippo flint you can place it into the lighter by removing the Zippo from the case by grasping the chimney (the thing with holes in it once you open the lighter) and the case and pulling them in opposite directions. Once the two pieces are separate, you look at the lighter's bottom, there should be a screw and some soft cloth. Unscrew the screw to replace the flint. after removing the screw and the spring, drop a flint in the hole while holding the lighter upside down, place the spring in the hole, then screw the screw back in.

What do you do if your Zippo lighter goes through the wash?
It should be fine if you take the insides out and let them dry properly. This might take a couple of days. Refill the lighter, replace the flint, and spark it up. If you can't make it light, you can always send it back to Zippo and they will make repairs to the mechanism.
