Hmm... No click means the gas valve is not opening to allow gas flow. Your millivolt drop
indicates that the voltage is getting to the magnets. They're just not opening.
Have you tried "rapping" on the side of the gas valve with a plastic screwdriver handle?
The magnets may be stuck together after years of non-use. a good rap or two might
free them up. Do this with the switch in the ON position & don't be overly aggressive...

Pilot lit...turned to on position.
switch to ON position...no click..however small flicker of flame at front of burner...tap with handle , no change

Toggle switch between off / on same results. no change in flame when turning from lo to high

Is it possible to have not installed the regulator tower improperly? No directions in booklet to convert back to NG just a photo for going Propane.

I might be over thinking

we now have a flame!

Removed and reapplied the regulator

Will once again check for leaks and make adjustments

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I'll post back once all is put back together

Daksy the 3 ohm reading is the specification from SIT. I once took a multimeter and checked a full box of new replacement valves. Very few of them were within specifications. Even tried different multimeters with the same result.
 
If it doesn't work send me a PM. I have a new SIT factory set up for gas for the tube burner, before the flat plate "Jotul burner", GF600 DV on a shelf in the garage. Bought a trailer load of Jotul gas stoves years ago and when we un-crated the GF600 the front casting was busted in shipping. Stripped it down and shelved the parts and scrapped the castings.

That must be an early 2000's stove.

you shouldn't be dealing with the spring and cap, not field serviceable parts.
you need a fully encapsulated regulator any time you do a change.

Interesting, that would have been a much easier change over. That parts, all being separate, where in the change over bag. Of course, they were factory installed and the previous owner converted to LP.
