Use the SEARCH function as there are many threads on this subject.

For me, a brand new unit for first time use, my Attwood would spark and flame-out immediately. Then time-out after three tries.

I ended up taking the entire unit apart, a quite simple process after i got over the hurdle of doing so.

For me, the board was fine, but the spark tongs were not adequately creating the ignition.
I ended up bending/widening the tongs to make a longer spark + moving the tongs closer to the burner (where the propane is released).

That was 3 years ago. It's worked every time since (knock on wood!)

Others will say blow compressed air in the orifice.

You'll first need to remove the sidewall cover plate.
Keep us posted on your results.
