How do i fix my zippo wick?

Question

My zippo wont light anymore, the wick is long but all black. Do i extend it and then trim it? i checked and the problems not the fuel level or flint.

Answer 1

Yep.
Take the cotton packing out (where you fill the fluid) to make it easier to pull more wick out. Notice how it is zig-zagged through the layers of cotton.
Pull out some wick, trim excess. You MIGHT need pliers, depending on how tight the wick fits through the hole it comes through.
