I have been fighting with a Hunter Gas Stove. Cant keep the pilot lit, I have replaced the Thermo-Couple and i have diagnosed the problem as a faulty gas valve made by robertshaw. My question is, what is a good resource for robertshaw valves?

Its rare a valve goes bad...even a robert shaw valve. Do you have a multimeter by chance? you could see what the readings are first. Most gas valves are over $200. If it was me i would also try and clean the pilot before i made that investment.

Did you actually take a Millivolt reading on the thermocouple? What did you get?
How did you determine that the valve was bad? Did you perform a resistance test?
What Ohms reading did you get?
