can this be installed as a replacement for ra117a where the l6006a is and the cad cell mounted on the side inspection plate just before the burner nozzle

Side plate plate is just below blower housing at the joint line where blower house connects to ( oil gun I believe it’s called )

No. Upgrade the burner. No MacGyver work allowed.

Thats an antique and a mess. You need to get a professional to do any modifications and make sure that old beast is safe to operate.

I appreciate you candor hvacnut, and inquired with the about the same to more than one of the local counter guys,( I have no problems walking into a johnstone controls or ordering something from Harvey and getting a replacement motor for my Coleman gas burner or a new control board and my questions weren’t out of ignorance , “ am I able to use a different brand burner as long as it’s compatible in every way,fuel delivery , spray patterns motor speed hZ , cycles gph , barrel length, pump pressure etc etc , could I just drop one in” nope, gotta buy a new one they said. I asked only asked because I was looking at the innerds of a burningham and when I flipped the transformer back it saw how it was mounted and was a plugged in to the control as of it was universal. After seeing a lot of obsolete, discontinued, widow maker post when searching a new stack switch it was a thought , that’s why I asked.it was in pieces when I saw it . The stack switch served it purpose and but suffered pitting and corrosion. Fella shut it down two years ago , said shook the house on start up. Got a boxed Ra117a , pulled the burner cleaned everything , spec’d the igniter , nozzle , cleaned fire box and exchangers put it back in service the way I interpreted the drawing ( I’m a tube welder amd understand the theory and fundamentals but not electric) because when I found it as it sat it was on a blown breaker because of wiring . The l6006a was b and r were wired together to a transformer wire ,4006b was jumped for circ pump, jumper on tt but thermostat didn’t react to voltage controls, so I took pictures , opened the junction box broke everything down and when I flipped the service switch it fired right up. I went wrong somewhere because I went to check the thermostat for voltage and I didn’t have 110 anywhere. I missed something because the 6006a passed r to b and to signal the start up right right, because that has to make it back to the neutral to complete the circuit ? I’m going to finish my night studying some laddrer diagrams to see where I went wrong . I am still confused however about l1 being hot but l2 has a note symbol of a triangle for supply . I missed a tie in splitting the hot one way into the r terminal on the low and the other way into the high limit . I have a licensed guy coming out to verify the wiring and and to do the start up shutdown safety checks .
