I had the same annoying problem with my '68 Safari. The plunger that you push in with your thumb has to push in far enough that it will hold the valve open when the weak current from the hot thermocouple activates the electromagnet in the valve. I found that by using a small screwdriver to push the plunger in just slightly deeper than my fleshy thumb could, the flame stayed on after about 30 sec of heating. Try it and let me know if it works.
