used my l5 heater Friday without a problem until the last house of the day.
 
pilot light ignites but goes straight out. the gas bottle was brand new so not a problem with the gas.

                     any help l5 users?
                                        thanks dave.

sometimes the wind can affect it. had you adjusted the flow rate on l5? best to do it from variflo if so.

[suds window service]

no wind today. i have tinkered with the flow rates internal and external. also checked the sensors inside. stumped

regulator?

[suds window service]

have you checked the flue is clear on other heaters if the flue is blocked or sooty it will deprve the pilot light of gas

You have 3 metal prongs sticking out into the flame,.. 2 spark & 1 is a sensor. Make sure the sensor is right in the flame & getting hot quickly, otherwise the heater thinks ignition has failed and cuts the gas,..
