|
|
| |
| C. Ignitor gap is too large. | Verify gap of igniter to right side of pilot hood. The gap should be | |
|
| approximately .17 inch or 1/8 in. (3 mm). | |
| D. Module. | Turn ON/OFF rocker switch or remote to OFF position. Remove | |

| ignitor wire “I” from module. Place a grounded wire about 3/16 in. | |
|
| (5 mm) away from “I” terminal on module. Place ON/OFF rocker | |
|
| switch or remote in ON position. If there is no spark at “I” terminal | |
|
| module must be replaced. If there is a spark at “I” terminal, module | |
|
| is fine. Inspect pilot assembly for shorted sparker wire or cracked | |
|
| insulator around electrode. Replace pilot if necessary. | |
