Clean out the burners and the injectors on the gas line to each burner .

Clean them with CLR or a wire brush , sand blast them ,.

Sound like the spark electrode needs cleaning on the burners .

By what you have done it points to the reg .

Clean out the burner holes with a nail.

Let the gas run a few seconds before clicking (and stand back). If that doesn't work, you may need to replace the starter.

Just find the biggest nail you can that will fit the hole and ream it out.

CLR is good .

Turn off propane. Disconnect propane tank from barbecue. Open burner valves for about 20 seconds. Close valves. Reattach propane tank. Slowly open propane tank valve. Turn on burner and ignite

I believe it is what holds the gas regulator to the body of the grill. Manual: http://c929377.r77.cf2.rackcdn.com/57503_021314.pdf

No that is not normal and the issue is regulator related. Before you head out to buy parts, try solving the problem this way. Turn the LP Tank Valve OFF. Disconnect the hose from the tank and wait 5 minutes. Them reconnect the hose to the tank and turn the Tank Valve ON Very, Very Slowly (Slow motion, slow). Once the tank valve is fully open, light the burner and turn it to high. Has the flame height returned to normal? Is so, you solved the problem. If it hasn't you will need to replace the grill hose/regulator assembly. You can purchase one at any home center or hardware store that sells gas grills and accessories. Be sure to take your old one with you for comparison purposes.

Hope this helped you to solve the problem. Happy Grilling!!

You may have a blocked/partially blocked gas injector which is a jet supplying gas to the burner.

Sorry bout your luck. I have a webber. Cheaper modek, and it does the same thing. I.leave my lid closed ...turn it on wide open wait 30 seconds and start lighting.

Hi leonard4538Regulators are notorious for doing just what yours is doing.After sitting in the same position for a length of time they freeze in that position, then along comes a grain of sand, or other debris and blocks the gas flow.Remove the regulator if possible, if not try it in place with the tank removed.Get a plastic headed hammer and gently but firmly tap on the regulator, your trying to free up the diaghram inside.After tapping and freeing the regulator diaphram reinstall and you will be good to go.If this does not work, the replace the regulator as it is defective.Some regulators are ajustable, if you have one of those then try to adjust the regulator, you will see a cap on top of the regulator, that is where the adjustment screw is located.Please take time to rate meBud

could be a disconnected wire from the igniter. could be a bad ground. could be corroded. Is there a spark going across one of the jets? may need to resort to a butane grill lighter (cheaper than digging around and replacing parts.)

disconnect and reconnect the tank...make sure it goes on straight and tight (the connecter).

Battery is it not a spark generator you push in the red button and it clicks and makes a spark at the burner ?

Barry, from what you have described, it sounds like the Venturi Valve on the open end of the burner is clogged. Spiders like to build nest in them. The Venturi Valve mixes air to the gas, so that there is complete, clean combustion when the burner is ON. Removing and cleaning the burner should solve the problem.

Removing the hose for 5 minutes and reconnecting it, are just two of the important steps in resetting the regulator.
The most important step is to open the gas valve VERY, VERY SLOWLY (Slow motion, slow) after reconnecting the hose.
