Hot water heater. Suburban

Hard to lite on propane. It will go through Cycle ( tic.tic.tic.tic..) then next Cycle it will either lite or boom . I blew it out with compressed air. Don't know

Blowing out the stack and burn tube is a good first step for this.

Next is the propane pressure. Low pressure can cause a no-start followed by a rich boom light.

Next is a corroded propane solenoid valve. A partially opening valve can cause a similar lean; then rich mixture.
