thanks guys.. i took the thermocouple off and blew crud out and lit the furnace "manually" and let it heat up the house a bit.. now i notice "scaly" material on the burners that must have falllen from above.. hmmm? the pilot still does not work unless i use my lighter to heat up the thermocouple.. i may bend the deflector shield a bit to direct the flame closer to the thermocouple..

are thermocouples ready available? cost?

i understand your comment about hiring a pro but i feel it's probably the thermocouple and i hate to drop a $100 or more for such a little part.. looks like i should be able to exchange that myself... the crud thing worries me a bit though.
