What could cause the cycling? I have ordered an electric element,(was told it was bad when I bought it) hoping to drain and flush it, clean it up good and install the element. Any thing else I can do?

When you say the LP side cycles often, can you tell us how often? Every few minutes, a couple times an hour, etc.?
Have you checked to see if the hi temp cutout for the electric side is tripped. It's one of the buttons under the rubber cover on the front of the heater.
