Can't tell too well from what you've said if you've done this, but with
a regular pilot usually you have to set the gas valve to pilot, then
depress & hold down the pilot button (usually red & right next to the
on/off/pilot knob) then light the pilot & keep pressing the red button
until the thermocouple gets warm enough to generate the little voltage
that tells the gas valve to stay on. Then you switch over to "on" and
you're good to go (assuming no other problems). Also once you shut off
the gas & especially if you've opened the line, it can take a fair
amount of time for gas to reach the pilot light, due to the low pressure
there. Not sure what you mean by "electronic pilot". Some furnace have
a pilotLESS electronic ignition. Obviously with these there is no pilot
to light.

Any reason why the pilot light will not lite from my flame?

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to have the gas main on or not, but I tried it
both ways.

I turn the knob to off, wait 5 minutes, push down over pilot, and absolutely
nothing.

I've never lit this before, but I had the gas off replacing a wall oven, and
it must have gone out.

The unit's electronic pilot was replaced about 10 years ago according the
sticker on the front, and we moved into the house about 2 years ago.

I read here where you should heat the solenoid up enough so the pilot stays
lit, but I've had a steady flame on where the pilot should be for over 60
seconds, still no itty bitty flame.

Does the electronic pilot mean anything? Like, it will even turn the pilot
on or something?

Just wondering,
