you blew out water or gum that was blocking the passage ways. clean the jets, and the fuel valve out really good, then check that cable. On the pilot alot of times you'll have to take a piece of small wire like on from a wire brush, and push out whatever is blocking it up. I have had great success using CLR full strength to clean jets, just take a shot glass, pour in enough to cover the jets, drop in the jets and watch the lime instantly start floating off of them. it usually only takes about two minutes, rinse them dry them and reinstall them.
