This model has what is called a fixed orifice, if you are having low flame, low heat output then this model has a gas regulator inline with the appliance, meaning your gas company should check this regulator for adjustment and/or their is a vent on top of the regulator that may have dust and or dirt inside preventing it from working correctly.
Use a manometer to insure lp gas pressure is correct. The regulator for the stove may need adjusting. The air mixture adjustment may not be correct for PL as well.
My first question is: is any gas coming out of the jets at each burner? If there is no gas then the regulator is not right. Many of them are set for high input gas pressure. If the supply pressure is too low, they do not open up. Some have a fine adjustment screw on them that allows adjustment of the output to suit the input pressure. Did you happen to check the main house valve to see if gas is getting to the stove?
not a problem. however, if you want to shrink it down... it's hard to say just what your gas valve is like. There should be 2 spots on it for adjustments, the larger slot (should be covered by a brass plug) adjusts the main burner output, the smaller adjusts pilot output. crank it down and watch the pilot shrink, but in this situation bigger is better. the pilot creates an electrical signal that opens the gas valve, you don't want that signal to be too weak. It would be wise to clean the pilot supply, to have a cleaner flame. pressurized air does well with out having to remove it.
It's wasn't the perfect solution but I removed all the burner caps and cleaned each one with a tooth brush. Then using a metal trussing pin, I poked through the flame holes to clean them. Noticed better flame output from both.
I think it sounds like one of two problems either the wrong orifaces were installed in the gas valves for the conversion or the pressure on the output side of the gas valve was not set correctly.
there are two considerations for burner height. 1) the gas adjustment screw on the knob and 2) the gas-air mixture to the burner. establish a flame and adjust the screw for a standing flame at the burner. adjust the gas-air ratio orifice so that the flame has no yellow tips.
