    Ask the late Mr. Carrier

    Why the stuff his folks put in their stuff.

    Because they could.

    Prints are nice if drawn in NO format.

    I live in Parsons Kansas- the Powerflame plant is just on the south edge of town.... I know, no help with this reply-
    I used to work with a guy who works in the office there-
    I think he is maybe the guy you talk to when you call with problems...I think...... I'll ask him next time I see him. 620-421-0480 is their phone number

    probably right down the road from Webster and Gordon Piatt anyway i can work my way through them but its completely unnecessary -- no-one is going to answer the phone at night,weekends and holidays--midnight --and if i only i had to do 1 service call a day it wouldnt be a problem But in the Real world --i'm loving the separate servo controls for air,primary fuel and secondary but the rest The industry could do without -

    Auto flame...

    This summer was my first experience with separate controllers, primary air, fuel, draft and fgr.They are along way from putting a match book in the relay and cleaning burnt contacts. Just working with a new CB Hawk set up, very elaborate control package, everything but sing and dance. Best regards

    yeah i remember the tube relays im all for the technology these days ---(BTW the CB hawk is obsolete) -but still the relays don't do anything other than waste wire and relays --they may protect the relay from a dead short in a circuit ---but if the relays coil shorts out, its the same thing --its just pointless
