The supply house is, just that, a supply house. When I go to supply houses I always hear the guys behind the counter trying to help diagnose stuff over the phone. Their job is to take numbers you give them and turn them into parts, not diagnose your service call. Don't believe me? Call Grainger sometime and ask for technical help:whistle: It's like talking to a barrel of monkeys. Do you have a senior tech to ask questions to?

If you are working on a G26 and the pilot is fluttering before main ignition, make sure you have the rubber gasket on the bottom of the fire box that the pilot tubing goes thru is installed correctly. I have seen air gaps in thst gasket cause pilots to flutter enough on ignition to cause flame rectification problems.

A small piece of debris from a tree right outside made its way in the exhaust and was just above burners. Was very small, but enough to obstruct the draft.

If you don't know how to test a flame sensor you should demand a full refund for your tuition.

I agree. In 1999 I went to chi inst. And 9 months later I didn't know how to read a set of gauges. My employer told me to get my money back. They actually gave it back to me. My teacher was only in the field for 2 years teaching a class full of men(and 1 girl) how to destroy your equipment, scary. They did give us a pretty cool book though.

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks some basic things should be known when a person gets done going to any hvac school. How to test certain components and what they do. Just to much other stuff to learn while the home owner is watching.
