How to tell if gas is coming from pilot flame Hood?
Check to see if there is an even gap between the spark igniter, the pilot flame hood, and the thermocouple. If the spark igniter is to close to either the pilot flame hood or the thermocouple, it will “click” when the rocker switch is depressed, but the spark will not be big enough to light the gas from the pilot. 2.
