    Are you able to see the pilot assembly where the pilot light should be?

    What's the model number of the furnace? This furnace may not have a pilot light.

    This is a mobil home furnace so everything is sealed,if it is new enough it may be hot surface ignition. Does it have a little round hinged door that you can open to see the pilot light?

    Can you post a pic of your furnace with covers off. This will let us know if you have a glow plug(hot surface igniter) or standing pilot. Then we will be able to give further advice. Thanks. Lee.

    If you have a peep hole cover like the one poster here you will need a long butane lighter or a long match extender to get to the pilot lite inside. The earlier G model you mentioned is one that uses this system for lighting a pilot lite. They are a pain to do and that is why I have a long butane lighter as posted here.

    You have a standing pilot furnace since it has a thermocouple safety. If you can move the camera over to the left and take another picture we can at least locate the peep hole you have to look into to light the pilot.

    The pictures you are sending are showing up here on the board but the one I am looking for has not been posted yet. I need a picture farther to the left of the gas valve so I can try and see where the access door is for lighting the pilot. I will soon be leaving this computer going back to finish teaching the HVAC class at the university so someone else may pick up this thread and help you. Be back in a hour or so.

    I saw the pictures a bit ago but they are taken to close to the unit. Back off a few feet so I can see the entire burner setup. I can see the thermocouple in the other pics but I cannot see exactly where it goes.
