Water Heater - Pilot Will Not Stay On
I have a 6 gallon atwood water heater ( model G6A-7 ) and the pilot light will not say lit. If I hold the control valve in the pilot position it does light but after 30 second to a minute or more it...

Check the piolet in the dark and make sure it's large enough to stay lit. I had this problem with mine. The gas valve on mine has an adjustment screw for piolet flame size. Can't really see the piolet well in the day time.

Be careful 'adjusting' that pilot flame.
Just needs to heat tip of thermocoupe
TOO HIGH and that can generate too much heat which can cause the ECO Probe (High temp t-stat) that sticks into tank from back of gas control to TRIP (190*F). When it trips---one time device----then NEW Gas Control Valve!
Och!
