ck roof jack for seperation, flame should be blue.
does pilot stay lite after u light it, w/o out going out. If so, when blower kicks on does the flame move alot.
its possible u may have a spider web in the pilot tube/ burner or even in the spud behing the gas valve.
Let me know what the flame does after the blower comes on, then we will go from there.
a gentlemen by the name of robert may reply to u before i get back to u, if so, pay attention, he's the ace on mobile home units

Hi,

Does it go out before or after the blower comes on ?



Thanks,
Robert

Is the small booster vent motor remaining running ? It should be first thing to come on and MUST remain on throughout the cycle.


Check what furnaceman mentioned. Also be sure booster motor is running strong and it and wheel are clean.

Make sure you maintain a 24vac signal to gas valve throughout cyle as well

IF all that is ok, will need hvac tech to check gas valve operation and gas pressures next.


Be SURE the burner orifice/spud, burner tube, pilot tubibg and pilot burner are ALL clean and clear.


Thanks,
Robert
