Electrode needs to be 'engulfed' in main flame....should glow red
Ceramic.....fire up WH at night in the dark and if cracked you will see it 'tracing' to ground
Burner tube....needs to be 'aligned' so that gas flow is directly down the center of tube. If cocked gas will bounce off walls of tube and not properly mix with air being pulled in thru air shutter.
Fuel/air ratio is very critical especially since propane is at such low pressure (11" WC----that is roughly 0.4 psi)
Thermo LP spades........just make sure good/clean-tight connections
Test that you are getting 12V DC thru them.
