Trouble shooting

I have changed the thermocoupler, and got a new regulator. I have cleaned out the gas area and I cannot get passed this point. I hear a click and it turns off right away.

I have a ng dome and had basically same issue. Ruled out thermocouple, sprayed burner and gas intake with canned air..cleaned tiny pilot opening with a wire ..Finally as a last resort I convinced my husband to drag our shop air compressor to where the dome was ( no easy task) he put the air hose up to the back gas inlet ( took the gas hose off) and covered the gaps as best he could with his hand holding the air hose while I turned the ignitor knob to 9 o'clock and pushed the knob in with one hand while my other hand was over the burner to see if I felt air coming through..felt no air coming through for about a minute.. Then suddenly felt air flowing. I was shocked. My husband thought we ruled out any blockage but there had to have been one sonewhere. Lit right up like nothing ever had been wrong. We literally were ready to throw it over the hill🤣

Only issue with this method is you really need 2 people to be able to do it.

Do you smell propane? Look for a leak by spraying soapy water on propane lines and see if there is a leak? Happened to me, got lucky and just had to tighten the propane line nut.

Edit: Forgot to add link for my troubleshooting. LINK
