    If your furnace only lights the first two burners, you have dirty burners not letting the flame cross over. They will need to be cleaned or you have low gas pressure. 9 out of 10 times its dirty burners.

    I hate to say it but the furnace was new roughly 10 years ago and lack of management on my part I have not had the furnace or the ductwork cleaned.

    Thanks for your answer T-TOP but it is only the one burner beside the igniter that lights up, would it still be dirty burners as I vacuumed the out yesterday and did not do any good, will have to get technician in.

    The problem may also be rust accumulation in the main burner cross-lighter slots.
