welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered. Use the internet and pull down the troubleshooting guide for your furnace. It could be a problem caused by spider webs or the sail switch . I use air to blow out my combustion air and exhaust before each season to eliminate webs and such

Did you purge the air out of the propane lines? I typically turn on a stove burner and hold a lighter next to it until it lights.

You need to keep that stove lit until all the air is purged from the system and you get a good flame. If the stove doesn't get a good flame, then you've got a propane supply problem.

Big LP use items like the furnace and the water heater require that you be able to light all the burners on the stove on high and have a good flame before considering the possibility there is something wrong with them.

If you don't have good flame at the stove you should start by investigating whether you have a LP supply issue.

So.....we’re assuming you have lots of propane right?
Turn the valve closed. Wait a minute. Then open it slowly to full open.
Make sure all stove burners work properly for at least 1 minute.
Assuming battery is good....try furnace again.
If you have water in your system, try your propane water heater, and test for hot water.

When my built in regulator (motorhome) got stuck in low flow mode the furnace wouldn’t light but I had one burner that would light and a second burner that had a low flame.
The first time it happened I replaced the regulator but the second time hot water got it to reset.
I believe the low flow is built into your tank valves and Kenandterry gave you the procedure to reset them.

Glad everything is in order and thanks for letting us know.

Could you possibly share what fixed it so if others have a similar issue, maybe your fix will help them?
