I had the same issue with my heater. Found a DIRT DOBBER nest in the throat of the gas intake. Was deep and around the area where it takes a bend to go to the water coils. Cleaned it out and it worked fine. It seems dirt dobbers are attracted to the smell of the gas. They sell little screens that keep them out.

Sounds familiar No gas/propane furnace is going to fire up without proper outside venting.

So I replaced the board and we just camped this past weekend and had no issues with the heater. Worked great.
Thanks
