Told you before....
1) Call a *competent* tech
2) If you just have to DIY, then talk to some controls folks (Honeywell)
3) You have to be smarter than the piece of equipment you are working with.
After you have re-designed your furnace, don't forget to have it
re-certified by UL, GAMA, and have it inspected by your local code
enforcement authority, then make sure that your insurance is paid current.
I don't care what kind of degree you have... or what kind of experience you
have... but fosile fuel burning appliances are not something that you really
need to be playing with *UNLESS* you have the training, education,
certifiications, licenses, and experience to do so.
That being said, its an easy fix, and no its not going to be free.
