Why is my sunflower heater not staying lit?

It will only stay lit if I hold the valve in on the sunflower. They do sell replacement parts at Mills Fleet Farm. Just wondering if the parts they have, are the parts I need. Thanks in advance!

    If it says lit while you hold the valve, and then goes out when you release the valve, you need a new thermocouple valve. Thermocouples DO go bad, explain to the salespeople what you have explained here and they should be able to get you the right part
