I had to take mine all apart and soak everything in mineral spirits. Then the pilot orifice was able to squirt the spirits ok. There was something else going on too, where you can use your lighter to heat the thermocouple (whatever that is called) before lighting the pilot, but didn't have to once it was all working. Be sure to close the little pilot access flap door thingy as soon as you do get it lit or it won't stay lit long enough for you to go to main burner.
