    White rodgers gas valve 36c67-175 pilot light troubleshooting?
    Older unit has a standing pilot. New couple still doesn't sustain pilot. Old Coleman unit. Can I rebuilt gas valve or should I just purchase one. Would prefer to build it.

    Its not worth trying to rebuild the gas valve but did you check to make sure it was not just a dirty pilot orifice. If the pilot flame is strong and hitting the thermocouple and after replacing the thermocouple, I would say you have a bad valve. If you have 2 wires that plug in under the thermocouple at the valve you may have a open limit.

    I`ve found that about 95% of people never write back to tell us if any comments were right or not, I give short answers and wait to see if anyone bothers to continue with asking for help

    Sorry for the delay.. work and school at night...
    Yes... T-Top was right on the money... Last night, I cleaned area and redirected the flame , also, put a new thermocouple since I was in there. It has been working great.
    I really appreciate it. I plan on coming to the sight and reading other situations that may help me in the future.. All of your participation on this site is very much appreciated.. Thanks again.
