REMEDY
1. Replace ignitor if wire is prop-
erly connected and you have
no spark
2. Using a match, light pilot. If pi-
lot lights turn off pilot and push
piezo again. If pilot lights, an
improper gas/air mixture cause
improper lighting and a longer
purge period is recommended. If
pilot will not light, check gap at
electrode and pilot. Gap should
be 1/8" for strong spark. If elec-
trode is okay, replace pilot
3. Check fuel supply
LP only:

supplier if low.
