Humm, with what you have said I'm also thinking there may be carbon build up on the thermocouple. Or, it may not be positioned in the flame good enough. Make sure it is clean and directly in the flame.
I'm not so sure about the carburetor cleaner thing though. Sounds flammable to me, plus it stinks.
It is flammable, but evaporates very quickly. And works great for this problem. If that's what it is.
It does sound like it. Not enough gas is getting through those little holes to ignite. With the little red straw, spray the holes well. As mentioned before, lay some rags under it to catch excess. Wipe it dry, and let it sit for about 5 or 10 minutes before trying to light.
You can also take the assembly off to clean it.
