The gas valve on the propane heater is acting up. The pilot won't stay lit when I let up on the pilot bypass, meaning, I press down on the bypass to light the pilot and after the thermocouple is warmed I let up and the pilot is supposed to stay lit. The pilot goes out when I let up. I replaced the thermocouple and the pilot still goes out. The pilot flame does heat the thermocouple tip enough to make it red so I assume the thermocouple is heated enough to make it work. Next step is to replace the valve unit. It's a Robertshaw but some of the tag is missing so I can not get a clear model number off of it. It has a capillary tube type thermostat heat sensing unit, not a remote thermostat.
I need some advice from you guys who work with gas, is there a way to repair the valve or do I get a new one? I looked up Robertshaw valves on the net and ended up with pictures of valves that might work but I don't know enough about this to trust myself with ordering one that might fit.
The inlet port is 1/2"NPT and the outlet port is 3/8" NPT. BTU's of this unit is 52000.
Can any of you decipher what I do have going by the picture? Thanks.
Pictures will be in the next post. I have been having an awful time getting pics to transfer from the phone to the computer so I have to post them straight from the phone. GRRRR! Thanks Windows 10!!!!!

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
