Yes it is an older unit, from an '85 Nissan micro motorhome.
If it does it and I catch it in time I will turn the thermostat down for about 5 seconds than turn it up enough so that it sparks again and it has worked every time. All with the blower still running.
I have ruled out leaks and issues with propane - I do know the ignitor is routinely carboned up and I used to take a wire brush to it but now I cant be bothered. I was wondering about why it wouldn't detect the flame not lit and keep running but it seems to reason it is just older.
It is a fantastic way to drain the battery if I am not around.
Anyhow, going to try a furnace store tomorrow and see if they have something.
Thanks.
