When I start my P 43 it ignites but only burns on the left side of the burn pot (as you face the stove.) The pellets on the right side of the burn pot do not ignite and are pushed unlighted into the ash pan. This happens in stove temp mode as well as room temp mode.
 
Time to get a good scraper and really get the carbon buildup off and get the holes cleaned. Frequent issue.
 
Mine will start to the left, then the whole flame will move. Sounds like Bioburner and miteclipse are probably on the right track.

Whenever I do a thorough cleaning, I run a hex wrench thru all the holes before cleaning out the area below the burn pot. sometimes really have to search for some of the holes since I burn crappy pellets that produce a fair amount of build up.
