My shore based grill has screen around the air intake to keep the critters
(usually spiders) out but my last one did not. I had a small brush on the
end of a flexible push rod that was made for cleaning the critters out of
gas grill. I got it at a hardware store I think. Works great.

Disassemble the tube going from where the regulator nozzle clips in and
undue the nut under the burner.. Run a flexiable wire thru this tube and
see
if you have some 'critters' in residence. It's hard to see because of the
90
deg. bend but if you look from both ends, you might see somethine that is
causing a air/fuel restriction.

You might also explore the burner base as well, although, in my case, I
never found that the bugs got that far.
