That is not normal for all Westy fridges. Some of the newer ones have
electronic ignition and on these the air pump does not double as the
piezo electric ignitor and can not be pushed in the extra 1/2 inch to
make a spark. If yours is a 91, you should have the new style, as does
Coyote in his Syncro Westy.
