Crosley having gas trobule

Oven/Range/Cooktop Repair

Hi,
I have a crosley that I cant get to light. It has been sitting around for the last 2 years. when I hooked up the gas I cant get the pilot to light and there is no gas flowing out of the burners. If I turn on one of the burners then turn the gas back on I can light it, then I can light the rest of the burners with a match but I dont get much of a flame out of them. At this point the pilots will light but they go out when I turn off the burners and nothing will light until I start over and turn off the gas and light one at a time.

Any help would help.

Thanks,

Is this thing just that old that no one knows anything about it? I know its old but I know it has a lot of life in it.

Jaysin,

What kind of the gas is it: LP or natural?

Had it ever worked before? If it had then what kind of the gas it was hooked up to?

Very likely the problem is a bad gas pressure regulator (#14 on the diagram).

Thanks for the help. From reading some of you other post it sounds like you enjoy helping people with this kind of stuff. I think thats cool. Can you tell me why for a stove it is set a 4" wc and for a furnace it is 3.5" wc? Im going to school for HVAC right now And I find that intersting, its not much but it is .5" wc, when with this stove at full blast your putting out 56k BTUs and with a furnace at 3.5" wc you could get up and over 100k BTUs. Im just woundering…

Thank you for the good words.

Regarding your question about different gas pressure for different kind of appliances you may want to ask your teacher at the school you are attending.
