My pilot light flame has gotten too big recently, it goes past the two
sensors. I found the adjustment screw on the honeywell valve, but
the flame does not respond to the adjustment. I tried unscrewing it
all the way (using a very small flat screw driver) to see if the
spring is stuck, but there is no spring. My stove is a Vermont
casting stove about 6 years old. Any ideas? Also, curious what made
the pilot light get bigger to begin with? thanks

here is a picture of the gas valve.
