I just got a 10 year old H200 and I cant get the pilot to light. It seems that the gas flow isnt working properly. My initial thoughts are the gas valve but i am hoping this is not it. I looked in the manual and the part number is HAXGSV001. Can anyone recommend the best place to get this part? I checked ebay but didnt really find any there.

Are you sure it isn't just air in the line that has to be bled out? I have an H250 that hasn't been used in years and as I recall, at spring lightup, I would wedge a stick on the button you hold down to light the pilot because I didn't feel like sitting there waiting. I'd just come back 15 minutes or so later and light the thing. The gas flow for just the pilot is so low it could take many minutes to bleed the air out of a long line.
There should be no explosion issue if the heater is ventilated properly. If you're concerned about that, let it bleed a while, then release that button for a few minutes to let any accumulated gas to disperse, then try and light it normally.
If this isn't the problem we'll work it more.
