2nd. Burner/Diffuser- easy don't know what they cost

Do you mean propane regulator? That's more likely. It's located by the propane tanks. There is also a propane valve (located in the furnace). It's a possibility but would be farther down my list. The only way we figured out it was the propane valve (not the regulator) on my buddies furnace is that I had my backup valve which happened to be the same one on his furnace as well.

We pulled out his, applied 12v power to it, which opened it up like it would in operation, and we applied air from a simple inflator (used for swim floaties). We had nothing to measure the output. But we did the same thing with the new valve and the air flow was significantly stronger. So we installed the new one and his problem was solved. A little MacGyver, I know, but it worked.

The burner is easy to check without spending any money. If it's clean just put it back and check it off the list. If it's rusted up then replace it and try the furnace again.
