REMEDY
1. Replace ignitor if wire is prop-
erly connected and you have
no spark

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
