OP here again,..............
I blew air thru the burner, and the air hole that was visable w/o taking the burner out, but it still dint burn right. So I took the recently installed burner out, an almost impossible job w/o cutting
2 inches off my nice Craftsman wrench, to loosen the gas line from the burner. Then after removing the orfice from the burner, It appeared to be completely plugged. Put the air snozzle directly on it and blew backwards,.....hooray, I could then see thru it !
There is only one way for the orfice to get plugged, and that's if there was debris in the gas line, and the only way for debri to get in the gas line is to have gotten in when the service guy had the line open, and was blowing rust and junk all over the place. I verified that by tapping the gas line on end, and a bit of rusty junk came out of the gas line.
What I once thought was a good job by a mobile tech that did the job 2 months ago, I now have 2nd thoughts. I can only think he did not cover the burner end of the open line while blowing lots of junk all over the place.
Like was said before, don't remove the gas line, or burner, unless it is absolutely necessary to clean the orfice. Doing so is just asking for a plugged orfice problem, IMO.
Anyway, got it all back together, hit the power, and alas !! a roaring flame like before, and getting cold very quickly it seems.
And now I have the special couple tools to make the job easier on the road, if ever need be.
Thanks for the replys.
