Go to your trouble shooting guide for that type of boiler. Look up weal pilot light. If not contact the place were you purchased it...........

Find the other end of your pilot tubing at your gas valve, blow the pilot burner out with air. Maybe as simple as a spiderweb or lint,or other debris from lighting the pilot.
