 That gave me an idea
OK first off, thanks for the quick replies!
the last answer got me to thinking, so can anyone help me on this. Yes the little brass double ended fitting that goes on the top left whne removed has a small tube that comes up into the opening of whichever side the fitting is inserted into. But when you mentioned the orifice in the burner tube, (I think) it made me wonder, when I take off the 2 screws that hold the gas valve to the round access plate on the front of the furnace there is a brass outlet pipe that inserts a short ways into the face of the burner assembly, it is threaded on the inside and is covered in black soot, should there be an orifice there? seems like ther should be something there because when you look inside I can see a long oening ans some metal mesh inside and the opening seems fairly large inside. could it be that there is no orifice and I'm just pumping unmetered gas into the burner? which was shut off last night and gas line turned off after reading the last bill.
Thanks for any light anyone can shed.
