More info would help; They mainly fail to ignite as flue is blocked. Spiders web and wasp nest are common problems. A quick clean with small bottle brush may assist. Try igniting with a gas filled lighter (the type with a 150mm long tube).

See Home Master 4PCE Gas Lighter Pocket Size Variable Flame All-Purpose Safe Lock | Catch.com.au

I assume that the piezo is sparking.

Sorry bit dumb of me. It appears i left the suburban gas hot water system on while i was travelling. There are burnt wires etc. I'm trying to find a gas plumber who is familiar with these systems to repair it for me. I've googled but can't find anyone in Melb or more my locality to repair it. I live in the Frankston area Vic. Thanks for your suggestion it may come in handy later!

An Auto Electrician may be able to sort out your problem.

You may need someone that can do gas plumbing that pipe might need changing. I dont know what else should be changing.
