Good to hear from ya again Trish. Sorry you're still hobbling. But you're pretty resilient. :)
I had a rather crazy, long, refreshing week. After about two years and 50 weeks... I finally spent a week at a new job. It's gonna be tough for the next month or so... but thins will ease out a bit after that. (hoooray!)
On a continueing note. I think I finally got the furnace figured out. For those that remember waaaaay back, I had a problem where on cold nights, the furnance wouldn't light, I'd have to go out side and 'choke' the intake. Well, after cleaning the burner, I was having a hard time getting it to light at all without choking it, and it was a cold weekend.
Long story short. Turns out the blower doesn't really blow air through the burn chamber... but instead... suck it out. AND... if you don't have a good seal around the door for the burn chamber, it will suck air in through there as well. That is the same door the ignitor is in. So if it is pulling air from behind the ignitor, it means the gas never GETS to the ignitor. I spent about 20 minutes this afternoon straightening the metal around the opening, and straightening the door best i could, then tightening it as far as I could. Testing the furnace afterwords, and it would ignight the burner almost as soon as it started sparking.
I may have just solved BOTH problems, and thought I would share my newfound tidbit of knowledge with the best camper buddies I've never meet.
We need a virtual campfire.
