I've noticed alot lately on here that the name Colin Powell has become synonimous (sp) with the Republican teamWas something spoken of about Powell joining or something?
tedruski is right onUniversal thermocouple can be purchased from a variety of sourcesTry good local hardware store, plumbing shop or any HVAC supplySupport the little guy - he's there when you need him!
Powell has said he is not interestedAnd since this would just connect the Republican candidate to the lies to justify the war (remember Powell telling the UN all about anodized aluminum tubes) I do not think McCain would be too interested.

The thermocouple is bad or not positioned properlyIts about an inch long probe looking device made of brass and protrudes into the pilot flame.Has a small tube or brass wire leading back to the control unitIt detects a flame from the pilot and keeps the gas onWhen no heat is detected by the thermocouple it shuts off the gas to the pilot light so you don't die of gas poison or blow up the placeIt is a safety deviceThey do go bad and you will not be able to light the pilot without itBe sure though that the probe is protruding into the flame when the pilot is litKeep the pilot button down for about a minute to heat the probeMost thermocouples are universalI have seen them at wal-martGood luck
