Typically there is an adjustment screw somewhere. You may have to remove the panel in the bottom of the oven to see it. But it is there somewhere, and there are only so many places it can be. On or near the burner, or by the valve or control where the gas line for the pilot comes out.

The trick might be access.

LP or Natural?

its a LP oven and I took everything apart so I access to the thermocouple didnt have a wrench to take it out tried scapeing pilot holes thinking they were plugged

[nobody05]

there is a piliot orfice that can corrode shut with the use of lp gas causing small flame or not enough flame for the thermocouple. take the piliot assy out of oven and either A: buy a new orfice or B: reem out orfice with torch tip cleaner seems to work
