Water Heater - No Light
I have a Suburban SW10DEL water heater and the igniter goes through its three cycles but no fire. I was wondering how you check the gas solenoid/valves. I think that one of them is bad.

Check for 12V DC at each solenoid WHEN sparking is happening....DC voltage is applied to solenoids and ignitor at same time.
Also, check the following
Good strong spark? SPark gap should be 1/8"
Main gas orifice is not plugged......brass insert on gas valve
Burner tube is clear...no spider webs etc
