Y'all can talk about the thermostat as much as you want, but I could replace it with a Morse code key and key the unabridged Oxford English Dictionary and not trip that breaker. This furnace is not an air conditioner. Short cycling cannot and will not cause excessive current draw- certainly not (at 15 amps) nearly double the rated draw (8 amps).
When you have a system that does not work, and you know there is a fault, you fix that fault before anything else. Now I wouldn't do anything before actually measuring the current draw of the motor, but there really is not that much more that it could be.

You know Chris, I respect your opinion a lot. But there is no call to be snarky with the unabridged dictionary thing.

We have a difference of opinion, but I don't think an overdraw by the motor is causing the furnace to cycle. But I can envision the motor overheating by continuous cycling, especially in a furnace with the burner on. After that all types of things could happen. Peace!

Now, Now. No fighting. I appreciate the thoughts and information for each of you. Several months ago, I purchased a new thermostat so plan to install that in the next day or two and we will see what happens after that.
Again, Mahalo for the thoughts and idea's.
