If the pilot light on your gas logs won't stay lit and goes out when you adjust the flame, it could be due to several issues. Common causes include a dirty pilot orifice, a faulty thermocouple, or improper gas pressure. Check for any obstructions or dirt in the pilot assembly and clean it if necessary. If the problem persists, it may be best to consult a professional technician to diagnose and resolve the issue safely.
