To Tom's question "did you hold the knob in?" the reason why you need to
hold the knob in is to allow the thermocouple time to heat up in the heat
of the lit burner.  Once hot, it stays open and keeps the flame.

As a point of clarity I called it a thermocouple which uses a peltier
junction to generate a voltage to hold the valve open.  But there is a more
primitive means of accomplishing the same effect and that is with a
bi-metal valve or temperature sensitive bulb and valve.  I'm not sure which
technology you'll find but hopefully you have a better idea where to look
for solutions.
