Burning at orfice

kevsul1

I just installed a two stage gas furnace (switched to propane) in my attic took a look at it tonight and when it lights two of the three orfices are lit going into the Venturi never seen this pressures are good on high and low fire and the inlet changed to new orfices I had still the same thing the only thing is I don’t have my fresh air vent ran but I don’t think this would be the cause any thoughts

What furnace model? LP kit? What pressures are you reading?

It’s a carrier 3.5 high fire 1.8 low 10 inlet

ratio

Those outlet pressures don't sound like LP numbers. Did you change the spring in the gas valve when you changed the orifices?

That's correct pressures for natural gas, not LP. You would probably want around 10-11" w.c at high fire for propane. And the spring needs to be replaced before setting the pressures. Usually the new one for LP is red.
You run the risk of completely trashing your new furnace by sooting up the heat exchanger at those pressures for LP.

Good lord idk why I’m thinking of natural gas pressures thanks for pointing out my stupidity
