Intermittent Gas Line Problem

[JeffR]

Hi - New here! I have a Genesis ll E-310 grill. I'm using propane tanks. I sometimes have to try igniting 20+ times to get the grill to light. Each time I will close off the gas tank valve and the the grill valves. This has been going on for a few years but getting worse. Happens with multiple tanks. I put a new battery in and checked all the ignitor connections. The ignitor seems to be firing OK. When It's not working there is no smell of gas be released and it can't be manually lit. I'm gathering there is an intermittent blockage of some kind but cannot diagnose. Can anyone help? Many thanks.

It's pretty common for spiders to make webs in the injectors and metal tubing. Disassemble anything you can that the gas travels though to inspect & vacuum those out.

Thnx for the response. After some reading I replaces the regulator and hose .... works great now!
