It was not working at all until I took the burner apart and removed the brass cap over the orifice and tapped it. It lights now but is still not getting good gas flow even though it comes up to temp. I can smell gas on ignition. Is my orifice bad ? or is it the igniter?

In order to confirm it you have to measure the current drawn by the igniter. If it's 3.2 amps or less then the igniter has to be replaced. Gene. P.S. The model number you posted does not come up.
