So I have an old Regency U31-NG insert. Pilot comes and stays on but no gas flame after switching on. Worked fine last season.

Set it to milliVolts & read across the TP & TH-TP terminals.
With the pilot lit, the Off-PILOT-ON knob in the ON position
& the switch in the off position.
Take a reading.
Turn the switch on & take another reading.
What numbers did you get?

Sorry for the delay. In the off position the reading was 1 with several blank spaces before the 'point' dot. In the on position it read 97.8 i hope I did it correctly.
Sorry for the delay. Real life interferes. So over the years I have dialed back the pilot light to save gas. I'll just wait here while you snicker,,,,,,, OK, so I got into it after I read how the thermopile works and returned the pilot light to it's original intensity and the fireplace works as it has for the past 13 years that we owned this house. Thank you for your information and help. It made me research much more about these beasties.
