ok, ive finished my mini pill gun and its sparks every tim e, but i wont fire, i think my spark my be to weak, but it looks fine. i dont think im flooding the tank, i cant really put in any less. can a spark be to small, because my cap is less then a millimeter, prolly around half a milli., is that to small for a mini?

you really need the tiniest amount of fuel, you are probably still flooding it

Try igniting it without the cap on, if it ignites you have too much if it dosnt you might have too little or there is a big leak.
