Hob Gas Ignition

[BenBag]

Pretty bog standard hob. 4 Gas burners and an ignition button, press the ignition button and the spark unit delivers about 1 healthy spark per second to all 4 burners.

Three of the burners light after a couple of sparks. The other one sits there oozing gas as a considerable rate for several seconds (>10) until it lights with a big oomph and burns off my eyebrows.

Any idea what I can do about this other than stand further back?

check the insulation at the ignition point of the dodgy ring, you will probably find it is cracked and shorting causing a weak spark, you could superglue round the insulation which can help

Also check the burner ports aren`t choked.

errr... seemed to respond to being cleaned properly.
