A flame that sputters and goes out after 10–15 seconds on a 6162 usually means a dirty burner or orifice, or a flue full of rust. Clean the orifice with alcohol (don't poke it), brush out the flue, and make sure the baffle is in place. Also check the 61692222 spark sense electrode, since the board shuts the gas off if it doesn't sense a steady flame.
