LP Furnace Problem

Our 1980 Scamp 16'er has a Suburban LP Furnace. It only works in the evening, lights off fine the first time. In the cool mornings (when we really need it) it won't light. I tried adjusting the igniter delay on the thermostat. I figure something is affected by the temperature. The stove lights up fine. Anyone has an idea what it might be?

That trouble shooting guide looks good, one thing it reminded me of is to look in the air intake and exhaust on the outside for wasp nest blocking the air passage.

Do the easy things first. )
