Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice. This morning I went to light my pilot light. I pressed the blue knob you see below to the "pilot" position, and then got the pilot lit. Unfortunately, I let go of the knob too soon, and the pilot went out. I turned it back to pilot after switching it off, but the pilot would not light after that. I have tried probably a dozen times since then, but I am never able to get it to light. I waited a few hours in between one of the attempts, but this made no difference. Could I have messed things up earlier somehow? I turned the knob past the off position that first time, could it have somehow completely shut off the gas to the furnace? I've read there are shut off valves - but I'm unsure where mine is, and I didn't touch anything but the blue knob. Attached are a couple of pictures - the first is a picture of what it looks like above the blue knob (the little arrow indicates where I light the pilot). The second picture shows the blue knob I turn to light the pilot. Thanks in advance for any advice!

I installed a goodman gmes960603bnaa furnace. the temperature rise on the plate say it should be 35 to 65 degrees. it is reading just above 35 degrees. the default blower speed for this furnace is 1332 cfm. I live in iowa and am right on the line between zone 4 and 5. I can change the dipsticks on the blower speed to 972 cfm. I am wondering if the heat rise will be enough when the temperature gets real cold this winter or if I should change it to the 972 cfm. what are your thoughts?
