Hey, oldbiker! May not be your issue, but I had a similar problem last year, the LPG furnace wouldn't light. Traced it to a low pressure problem from my Marshall regulator. Under its blue cap is an adjustment screw to set output pressure. It was low, and the safety features of the furnace wouldn't allow it to ignite until proper pressure was reached.

Hey oldbiker
On your little heater it sounds like it needs a new thermocouple. We have 2 styles here in the states. Main difference is the threads, in generates a Millivolt of electricity that holds the safety valve open. About $10.00
