Joe, et al:
Take the flame spreader off of the bad burner.  It twists about a quarter
turn and then lifts off. My left burner was clogged; it had spider webs
inside and did the same as yours.
With the spreader off, I burned the webs away and the gas flowed properly.
Be careful, with the spreader removed the flame will shoot up about 4 inches
or so.  I imagine a pipe cleaner or two would do the trick, also.  I was out
in the woods and did not have any.
HTH.
