I have a Martin ventless gas log fireplace heater and can't get the pilot light to light. In the past, I've had problems keeping it lit, so I've kept pilot lit all year. The other day I successfully used the heater for the first time in months. When I turned the heater off the pilot went out. Since then I have not been able to get the pilot to relight at all - much less stay on. It acts as though there is no gas at the pilot. I have used canned air duster to try to clear dust from tubes,etc. but no change. Any suggestions?

You should the value there should be a pilot ajustment screw
some times it is hidden under another screw but should be close to where the pilot light line hooks to the gas value
If you disscnnect the pilot tubbing where the pilot tubbing screws to the gas value there should be a small orffice there that should come out and it may be plug up you should be able to smell gas when you push the knobe to lite the pilot.
