Does no gas come out of the Pilot Port when the Button isn't depressed (Thermocouple cold) ?

Is there a "drip leg" (sediment trap) at the bottom of the vertical Gas Line drop ?

Thanks for the reply, but I'm all squared away now, after going medieval on the gas control valve's ports with an air compressor.

Previous to the fix, I was getting no gas out of the pilot port in all positions of the knob. Now, I get gas to the port as appropriate.

The "repair" is still holding up.

Further, our thirsty dogwoods are, I'm sure, much happier after getting 40 gallons of drained tank water. ;-)
