Just buy one. It is about $20 for a good high flow QEV (piston type). Just search on eBay or Amazon. A ball valve is a good pilot valve. It is easy to find and it has high flow, which allows for high power. Use a 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch valve.

For some reason people want to build these lately. Looking for better flow perhaps....
