Check and see if you have strong blue flame at the burner. You will have to remove a metal wind shroud to see the burner. Sometimes rust particles will fall from the flue and land on the burner, restricting the flame.
If you have a flame, but it is weak, you may have a clogged burner jet. Remove the jet and soak in alcohol and blow compressed air through the orifice. Do not poke a wire or needle into the orifice.
If you have a good flame, but the gas shuts off, you may have a bad thermocouple. The thermocouple senses the flame, and if it doesn't feel heat, it will shut of the gas after a short while.
