It is not a pilot light - it is the sole burner!
Is your baffle in place in the boiler tube?

The top end of the wire that it hangs from should be hooked over the edge of the burner tube. (People turn their fridges upside down and dislodge them then wonder why their fridge doesn't get cold on gas!)
You may be able to get something into the bottom of the burner tube and feel for its presence.
