Furnace oddities.

Is it possible to "flood" a furnace?  I used to believe that the 
sparker was in bad shape because it only seemed to work initally.  
After a few attempts it probably would not work again until 
it "rested" a while.  That is what seemed to happen again tonight 
after I thought I had fixed it.  I went looking for a propane leak 
around the new pilot line.  I used a lighter ( yes, I know all about 
it).  What I found was what appeared to be propane leaking out of the 
combustian chamber like it was full of the gas.  It did not explode, 
it just slowly burned.  As usual, after the rest, the pilot lit the 
first time.  I am starting to think that the combustian chamber can 
fill with propane gas and cause a lack of oxygen. The spark might be 
good, but the propane does not have enough oxygen to ignite.  Is this 
possible?
