'Lo All,
If you can ascertain what the orifice size is supposed to be, you can
probably use an acetylene torch cleaner of the same size. I have done
that on several occasions. Just be sure not to increase the orifice size
with the cleaner.

I had a similar problem with a Seward Princess stove/oven. The problem was
not the thermocouple. The problem was caused by a tiny orifice in the pilot
light being plugged with carbon. With a partial plug in the orifice there
is insufficient flame to heat the thermocouple. On the Sure Marine web
site they used to have a link to describe how to remove the part. I am
attaching a pdf of those instructions. See especially pages 5 and 8. I
believe that Sure Marine sold all their stock of the pilot orifice to
Fisherman Supply (FS) in Seattle. FS may still have the part and then you
can just replace it. Sure Marine may also be able to direct you to another
source of the part.
