Yes, hole is too big or propane supply too weak. Once you have the gas
on and the water level stable you should be able to plug the bleeder
with little or no effect on the level. Put tape over the bleeder hole an
use a pin to prick a tiny hole in the tape. If the level fails to drop
when the gas is turned back off, the bleeder is blocked.
