Oven Repair (including Ranges and Cooktops)

I moved about 6 months ago from natural gas to propane. I changed orfices and adjusted the safety valve. The ignitor burns bright but the gas won't come on. I tap on the top of the safety valve and the burner will ignite. Oven would work fine. Now after preheating the oven won't come on unless you tap the safety valve again. Would the safety valve be bad or will the igniter be bad?

The problem with the oven is the ignitor. The ignitor is too weak to open the gas valve. So when you pop the gas valve, it opens, and then ignites. You need to replace the ignitor.
