Antique gas furnace, cleaning the burners and pilot part 4

[@MadahMohamad-gr6qd]

Briloure ancien modèle Bravo 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐👍👍🥰🥰🇩🇿

[@chrisknapp449]

You gave a great explanation of the pilot assembly and how it is put together about 10 years ago, I would suggest people check out that video in conjunction with this video

[@meghan2456]

Thank you so much I was struggling with mine!

[@chrisknapp449]

Did you also disassembled the gas pilot parts and clean orifice? This can be done by removing the brass nut

[@grayfurnaceman]

There is generally no good reason to disassemble the pilot unless there is no gas flow to the pilot. The pilot orifice is very small and cannot be effectively cleaned, only replaced. GFM

[@Jwr1230]

How do you relight that pilot on those older furnace?

Thank you for covering the antique gas furnace, the do last for ever if maintained

[@grayfurnaceman]

The idea that they last forever is flawed. As with most mechanical devices, the vast majority last 20 to 30 years. Some fail early in perhaps 10 years and some last very long. Its just that you only come across the ones that last because they are the only ones left. GFM

[@jesushernandez-db6uy]

well

[@briand6671]

CAREFUL WITH THAT SOAPY WATER ! It might wash some of that grunge off of it

[@andiquoteable]

How do you remove the cast iron burners?

[@grayfurnaceman]

Remove the manifold assembly and they should come out. GFM

[@jayrodriguez8184]

Great videos. thanks for your efforts!

[@grayfurnaceman]

Welcome GFM

That beast, even in its present age, will still outlast anything you can buy today. The only problem is they had no draft or rollout safeties.

[@grayfurnaceman]

I will be uploading a vid on repair of the valve. Not that I recommend that repair. The problem with these older parts is that during normal servicing, they often fail. Proper repair of this unit would be a combination gas valve. But also replacement of the furnace should be considered. Why not put the repair money towards a new furnace? Also, remember this furnace is not installed. It is a mule for videos. GFM

Great videos on this antique furnace! Thank you for posting! I have a 1954 Bryant floor furnace with pilot issue. It also has yellow flame. Wish you had gone into more detail about the pilot. After the burner stops, a flame travels up the side of the pilot and pops when it reaches the top. Like water dripping, upwards. Pop, pop, pop, every few seconds until the furnace cools sufficiently. What can be done? Is a replacement pilot assembly still available?

[@grayfurnaceman]

You probably have a gas leak at the pilot assembly. Standing pilot assemblies are available, however, it may be a leak at the pilot tube fitting. I would get it looked at as you do not want a leak even if it is a small one. GFM

[@randomrazr]

is it true older furnaces dont produce as much carbon monxide?

[@grayfurnaceman]

No. The newer ones are far better at establishing a complete burn. GFM

[@HVACShopTalk]

Good series. Looking forward to seeing it light up again.

[@KPSoutside]

Do happen to know where the fan limit switch is on a vintage Lennox gh5 series furnace is?

[@grayfurnaceman]

It should be located above the burner cover in the center of the front panel. GFM

[@zczonstka]

Been working on my gh6 all week.

[@brennanac1]

nice video. I replace the chain last winter on one just like.

[@AlchemistLair]

Wow, I like to keep old things running but this furnace can't be long for this earth!!

[@asimaltamimi2998]

How to find a service/ repair person for my 106 year old floor furnace in Santa Monica, CA ?

[@grayfurnaceman]

Well, I would do it. Problem is I am 1500 miles away. I really don't have any answers. GFM

[@grayfurnaceman]

Its coming. GFM

[@geojor]

thank you...

[@grayfurnaceman]

Well, I did pull it out of the junk pile. GFM

[@grayfurnaceman]

I have done a number of vids on these pilot assemblies. Look for Carrier 58ss or 3 wire pilot in the search box. Hope this helps. GFM

[@Sgv626]

How much should a job like this cost

[@grayfurnaceman]

About $100 to $150 GFM

[@Sgv626]

grayfurnaceman thank you I need it done ✅

[@joegarza3445]

IT DEPENDS ON HOW HARD IT IS THAT ACCESS, MANY TIMES THE BURNER COVER HAS TO BE DUG OUT OF THE DIRT TO REMOVE, EVEN IF IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE DUG OUT IT WILL COST AT LEAST $300 HERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, AND THAT IS AT THE LOW END.

[@grayfurnaceman]

Its interesting to see how these furnaces were made and you have to admit, they lasted a long time. Thanks for commenting. GFM

[@mechanicwarrior20]

Uh oh so what are you going to do about that leaking shut off valve? delete the valve train and install a combination gas valve and extend out the manifold with black iron pipe where the regulator and gas solenoid is.
