Fuel control system having an electrical ignition probe, parts therefor and methods of making the same

In a method of making a fuel control system having a burner means provided with port means for issuing fuel therefrom, an electrical ignition probe means for igniting said issuing fuel by forming a spark gap with a ground electrode means and creating sparking thereacross, an electrically insulating means disposed adjacent said burner means and carrying said ignition probe means and said ground electrode means in a fixed relation relative to each other to define said spark gap therebetween whereby said ground electrode means is separate from said burner means, and a support bracket carrying said insulating means so that said spark gap is fixed relative to said burner means, the improvement comprising the step of clamping said ground electrode to said insulating means with a clamping means that secures said insulating means to said support bracket.
