Old Carrier(?) furnace, intermittent pilot, 700-061 type gas valve;
one of the four gas jets usually doesn't light. It's the last on the
maniford. Flame looks normal if it lights (blowing gently in its
direction easily lights it off). Is this likely a low pressure/bad
valve issue?

Either get it fixed (as Noon beat me to the punch) OR
wait for the big boom and then you may not have to bother with it.
