Default Can't adjust the Pilot light in my Gas Stove (flame too big)? adj screw.

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


Perhaps your gas meter (which regulates the pressure) is failing. Might be worth
a call to the gas provider.
