There is also a mixing control valve that is visible near the black water dump valve. This is a 3-way valve, meaning it does not shut off flow as a 2-way would, just moves flow in one direction or the other. Make sure the valve handle is in line with the horizontal pipe, that way no cold water will be mixed with the hot.
Might not be the problem, but can't hurt to check.

As mentioned above, the gas won't ignite if the water is already hot--I found out the hard way after taking it in for service. The water has to be cold enough for the thermostat to let the gas valve work.

Is the electric side working?
