I have cleaned and recently rebuilt 2 weber grills, and these are the items I found to be the problems.

How To Reset your BBQ Grill Regulator | Palm Beach Grills |
I have had to perform the reset procedure mentioned in the above posts a few times with my Weber. I believe I am using the proper procedures to shut it off and start it again but I've still needed the reset. The process is very easy though I'm not patient enough to wait the full two minutes that it calls for.
I have found that a small paperclip is just the right size for cleaning the holes in the burner.
You should also consider removing the burner entirely and shaking out any rust that has accumulated inside. This will also help you see if there are bugs or webs that need to be cleaned out.
One time I needed to clean a web behind the orifice/jet that allows propane into the burner. The open end of the burner fits around a small tube coming out of the regulator. The orifice/jet will be at the end of this tube. On my weber it was a brass (or brass-like) part with a tiny hole in the end. Mine also had fittings so that I could use a small wrench to unscrew it from the tube. I found a web behind it.
