Our 20 year old Majestic Vermont Castings pilot light has turned yellow and quite large. It also will not ignite the main burner. 20 years of operation and I've never cleaned it. Today my first step is to perform your cleaning steps and hope for the best. A replacement pilot light is $120

Good luck, my gas fireplace is 23 years.

@@guelphming3843 I got it! Sweet. I followed the video which is a big help. Cleaned everything with both a tiny wire brush & emory paper. Then disconnected the small gas feed line to the pilot and back blew it out with a puff from a bike pump. A cloud of dust flew out of the pilot. When I reassembled everything the pilot flame was blue again and functional. Thanks. Saved me a several hundred dollars. Easy job
