Here is what's going on...
Dryier starts, igniter lites, gas valve comes on and lites, runs 20-30 sec. and then cuts out on high limit. (220-40 F high temp limit opens).
Took apart, cleaned, cut some of the air down until good blue flame and now it will run for a min or two and then cycles off the valve and then comes back on.
Checked out gas pressure when the valve opens and ignites and it is about 2-2.5" in W.C.
So, here are my questions:
Is it normal for the unit to cycle the burner on and off?
What is the normal/typical discharge temp out of the back of the dryier?
What is a normal/typical temp inside the dryier?
What else should I be checking for?

Yes, it is normal for a dryer heating element (gas or electric) to cycle "on" and "off".
Is it anything wrong with the dryer now? Why do you need to check anything?
