Gas Furnace Noise

QUESTION:

My brother has an Coleman Evcon propane furnace in his trailer. He says whenever it fires up, the gas ignites like a bomb.... a big WHOOOMP. According to Coleman, they feel the gas pressure that is regulated at (on) the furnace is set too high. The local gas fitter claims there is no adjustment available on the furnace.
So...... Does anyone have any ideas as to whether this is he cause of the loud ignition, or could it be something else.

ANSWER:

I had a neighbor that had this problem with his old gas furnace. It turned out the pilot light had a partially plugger orifice, resulting in too small of a flame, so it wasn't close enough to the main burner. Whatever kind of igniter is on your furnace probably is not close enough also.
