Op here....
Got out air compressor. Used my cheap water tank cleaner. The one that has plastic tip, not metal. Was able to slide a piece of vinyl tube over entire tip. Stuck vinyl tube in brass air tube thing moved it all around. Turned on water heater again and it fired off. Heating up right now.
It is absolutely amazing how a spider web can disrupt propane flow.
Course gas pressure is only 0.4 psi (about a whistle worth) but if the fuel/air is not properly mixed NO FLAME
If too little propane (below 2% concentration) no flame
If too much propane (above 10% concentration) no flame
Fairly narrow limit for flame
