    Pic 2 3 and 4 are all the same component. It is the ignitorbut im wondering if it can be dual purpose. ignitor and flame sense. Will find out in a coupls days when I locte one.

    I am starting to wonder about the electrode. i have the furnace on the bar and cover off,bbq tank hooked up, battery hooked up and it still does the same thing. There is a limit seitch, sail switch and the electrode only as sensors/switches goes. I can keep it going by applying 12v to thesolenoid on the valve, works great. It is shutting the 12vjsupply to the solenoids after 5 seconds and ignitor stops sparking. I verified 12v coming out of the limit switch at all times the blower is running . So i am down to either the board or this single terminal electrode. I cant see how this can be a flame sense compnent with only 1 wire but hey who knows? Obviously Im going to buy an electrode and try it.( Wish I would have done that before removing the furnace) To the best of your knowledge can this electrode send a signal amp. back to the board?

    Thanks saddle. I really apprecite you working with me on this one. I got that file already and it is slightly generic or outdated or something. On pages 15-17 it talks about a flme sensor near the electrode and i dont have one of those flame sensors near the electrode or near the burner. I removed the burner and looked inside housng and no wires or sensors. That file you sent was a good one though it helped verify thoperation of the limit switch and the sail switch and... Ayways im removeng the entire unit now to work on it, service it on the bench. Going to hook up the bbq propane tank and a 12v power supply. Cant access any of the components to test or replace so might as well just remove it. After this i will be a half A$$ pro at RV furnaces. Will post some pictures later when IM set up on bench. Got it all disconnected now except ssomething is caught on the back of the unit. Just came into get a little mirror and a cold beer.

    In this case there is only one blower for the combustion gas and the forced air throught the ducts. I know it is suppose to run for a bit before and after flame and that is where this so called sail switch comes into effect to verify there is adequate air flow for the combustion gas before lighting the burner. I just got to figure out why burner only lights for about 5seconds. As mentioned before there has to be something to do with a flame sense or heat sense or something like that. sensor? wiring? circuit board? Having breakfast and going to go tackle this monster. If you dont hear from me again you know what likely happened. Propane and electricity. :225::225:

    Thanks. going to tackle this tomorrow. Yuou just might here from me. Will post my findings and/or frustrations as project advances.

    Hey Jeff. I have heard about this sail switch and was looking for one but could not see it. I dont think thats my problem because i dont think it will light with a failed S S but would like to find it and see how it works.

    Thanks for your input. Will pull the electrode out next and have a look.

    Thermocouple you say. That sounds like I the problem i could be dealing with. When it lights the flame looks good (nice blue colour) and all holes in burner seem lit. I am making this tomorrows project to tr and get it going. My 12 year old daughter having a few friends over this coming friday for her 13th birthday and they are sleeping in the trailer so I want to get it going by than.

    I know this is not bike related BUT.... I am wondering if there are any RV techs out there. I have a Suburban NT-30sp furnace in my RV and am having troubles with it. I have ruled out propane supply as I can run my water heater, 3 burner stove and oven at the same time. When i request heat the blower motor will start running, (sounds and feels quite strong), I can hear the ignitor click than a thud from the solenoid, than the burner lights and will burn for maybe about 5 seconds and than the burner will go out. It will repeat this 2 more times than the furnace fan will shut off after a couple minutes. Can anyone help me out on this one? Rob

    Awesome!!! If you need a bike to try it on than come on over.

    They look good. I really like the T. Are those wheels on the A of a 1932?
  18. wrenchrob
    Looks Great!

    Thats the sound of the bike trying to say, I wish I was a second gen

    I wish we had roads in this area to run that fast. All we get is 60 mph.

    I want to try something like this for a winter project. I was thinking about trying to install a TED (thermo-electric device). A TED can be found in some newer vehicles used to cool the seats. I work for a Ford dealer and am waiting to hopefully get one from a warranty return to try so as to try and keep costs to a minimum in case this project fails.

    That is awesome!

    I got it! I think?
