Hello,
Im looking for some suggestions please. I have an older furnace and the burners wont ignite. Initially, the pilot wouldnt stay on. Changed the thermocouple and that didnt work. Then we replaced the gas valve. Now the pilot will stay on, but the burners wont ignite. We have replaced the thermostat and changed the filter (which had obviously not been changed in years, and hopefully didnt crack the heat exchanger). (Also, the limit had been tripped). We also replaced the transformer. My stepdad jumped the gas valve and the burners came on, but he immediately removed the jump (just trying to see if it would work). The gas valve currently on there is a little bigger than the old one, but I was told that they were all regulated and cant be too powerful. Any suggestions?
