    May have to remove and clean the pilot orifice. You can start by unhooking the pilot tube from the gas valve, and if you have gas there, you need to clean or replace the orifice. If no gas at pilot connection, then check for gas coming into gas valve.

    Not sure why gas valve is tagged in my earlier post. Im not happy about it. Odds are, the gas valve is not the problem.

    Post #2 shows gas valve in blue, and when I put my curser over it, it shows links to other sites and some games to play. Maybe only I can see it on my post, not sure what it means, or what to do about it.
