scale or other debris. Clean
burner tubes using a stiff brush and/or shop vac. Burner ports should have uniform openings. Replacement is recommended for burners where port area is deteriorated or other unintended openings are present.
Step 2. Insure pilot shield is in place (see photo 20).
Step 3. Inspect pilot position to insure smooth burner ignition from pilot flame. Pilot should be mounted using the two mounting screws through the burner support bracket resulting in a level pilot position.
