Go to Chris Bryant's Site and get the Service Manual.
I think you'll find that this heater uses Flame Sensing. If so, the same element that the ignition spark jumps from is also the Sensor. It's pretty scientific and I'm not so I can say that it senses Ionization... That is different from the old Thermocouple scheme.
If the Flame Sensor is out of place or perhaps even dirty, it'll not realize a flame is burning. It's doing re-light attempts and only does X number of those before giving up till you cycle the On/Off switch.
Manual will tell all.
