Is this close enough, or is there some other problem? No gas at all is making it out of the valve when I disconnect the lines. Im at a total loss here.

Can you be more specific on the problem? Gene.

I checked the gas flow at the valve for the cook top burners, and all is fine there, but nothing comes out when I try to start the oven part. I checked the resistances, but all looks normal there too.

NOTE: Always check both solenoids. If one of the solenoids is defective, neither one will operate
