REMEDY
1. Replace ignitor if wire is
properly 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 recom-
mended. If pilot will not light,
check gap at electrode and
pilot. Gap should be 1/8" for
strong spark. If electrode is
okay, replace pilot
