    Has anyone changed the ignitor? Sometimes they glow too weak to ignight the gas. The gas only comes out for a second because there is a sensor to detect heat and if there is no ignition, it shuts gas off instantly. They put such a terrific amount of odor in the gas it can seem like a substantial amount. Also have a pro check location of igniter. I have seen on rare occations that the igniter has to be closer to the gas chamber. I hope this helps cause I can't see it to test anything.
