1. Did it light on LP BEFORE your previous problems on the other thread?
2. To answer a question you posted on the other thread. The position of the 120 sleeve WILL NOT affect the heat transfer to the flue on 120.
3. AS you have found out, messing with things can cause you to cause problems that were NOT there previously.
4. The RULE is, IF something was working BEFORE you messed with it, 99% of the time it was something YOU did.
5. Your older unit should have a reignitor. 2 by 3 inch box that has the spark electrode and gas valve wires to it. Usually mounted right beside the main control box. remove the spark electrode wire and turn gas OFF and attempt a LP light sequence. Use a insulated screwdriver to the spade on the reignitor for the electrode lead about 1/4 inch off the spade. When the sequence starts you should get a spark to the metal screwdriver blade. IF NOT, your reignitor is bad and BAD NEWS, they do NOT have replacement reignitors.
6. The system will attempt a LP lighting 3 times before lock out and check light comes ON
7. Last, DID YOU remove ANY of the wires to the reignitor? IF SO, and the LP system worked before, then you have connected the wires to the reignitor wrong. Doug
