Step 10. Visually inspect the spark igniter/flame sense wire for damage. Replace the pilot assembly, if damage is found.
Step 11. With a multi-meter set to the ohms setting, check continuity through the spark igniter/flame sense wire. Replace the pilot, if there is no continuity.

Step 12. Visually inspect the spark igniter/flame sense electrode for de- terioration. Replace the pilot assembly, if necessary. The electrode should not be in contact with pilot hood. If it is in contact with the pilot hood, carefully adjust electrode to a gap distance of 3/32" from the pilot hood.
Step 13. Visually inspect the spark igniter/flame sense electrode for oxi- dation build up. Carefully clean any oxidation using very fine emery cloth.
