I'm not real good with gas ... but... I don't believe you can use a multimeter to check a millivolt gas valve.

When you said you replaced the 'thermocouple', you meant 'powerpile', correct ?

You're sure that the water temp hadn't gone up to High Limit during the initial test ? You tried again after the boiler cooled and still no go ?

Do you know how to use the OHMS scale on your meter ?

If so, there are some readings you can take that will tell us if the aquastat is signalling the valve to open or not ...

I forget ... does the 8148L have an AUTO / MANUAL switch on it?
(and you're sure it's an 8148 L ? )
