Got a 200,000 BTU that won't light.
Replaced the rocker switch and igniter. Igniter glows and I can see the fuel going past the igniter, but it won't fire up.

You must start troubleshooting by setting the air pump pressure. Low pump pressure or air leak can cause the problem that you are experiencing. If you check the pressure and it's up to specs, then the nozzle may need replacing.
