Do I need to disconnect the gas valve and remove the main burner tray assembly to access the pilot generator or thermocouple?
If the pilot stays lit and main burners wont fire you don't need to replace the pilot generator! you have an open safety, poor electrical connection or a problem within the tstat controls
SOURCE: My pool heater will not ignite. I turned it on
That would be the thermal couple. When the pilot light is lit then it heats the thermal couple. When power is sent from the thermostat it opens the gas valve as long as the thermal couple is heated from the pilot light. Even though the pilot light is heating the thermal couple, the thermal couple is not telling the gas valve that there is a pilot light. So this means that the thermal couple needs replaced. This is very common.
SOURCE: Hayward Comfortzone pool heater pilot will stay
check for continuity at all control and safety components,i.e. press switch,high limits,thermostat,on/off switch and flame roll out switch
SOURCE: Jandy Lite 2 does not ignite
burners are plug with spider get a wire and bended get it inside the orifices where the gas come out every single one than try now ? magic heater comes on
SOURCE: Teledyne Laars LD250 Propane Pool heater cycles on and back off
Do you replace the thermopile or check the milivolts?
Check the Pressure gas
You need replace all of them terminals and check again the milivolts at the gas valve
SOURCE: pool heater stays lit for approx. 30 seconds then
Problem with the thermocoupler its not producing a minivolt of 250 plus
that is needed to open the main gas valve
