My mechanic is leaning towards the gas valve. He told me if it won't start tap the gas valve, keep repeating doing this till it starts.
Something inside the valve sticks. I think it happens from not using it all the time. That's why I have trouble after its been sitting.
I was away fishing and it would not start. I took a ride down a bumpy road to a different fishing spot and the furnace (which I had left on accidently) was running. I just smiled and grabbed the fishing pole.
Quite often at times like this I say to myself,"i need to change that gas valve" . Then when the sun comes up....I don't . :S
It's a PIA but at least we have a sense of humor about it .
