Usually down to a partially blocked jet......the flame being insufficient to keep the thermo couple latched.
Otherwise its an igniter fault.....where the probe has burnt away or 'auto igniter' (if it has this type) is faulty.....westies have issues with the push button switch not giving a precise action between power sources. Can be cured by lubing the mechanism.

Also (Westy) note* good connection required on the bullet fuse (B pillar) 8 amp fuse next to driver on L/H/D vehicles.
