The symptom that you're describing is a clogged fuel filter.

If it has an IMPCO Lock off, you'll need to disassemble it and change the filter if it is dirty or deteriorated.

If the fuel system uses a fuel filter, it will most likely be attached to the propane hose near the radiator.

It's easy to find.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
