so, add $150 or so for a new burnpot too.......and a gasket while we're at it......the old p38 burnpot wouldn't allow for the igniter either...slot too narrow, had to use an Accentra FS burnpot to make it "easy". I agree, not worth the expense, but a fun project anywho.
control board, igniter, ESP, burnpot and flame guide and you take a P38 and trun it into a P43I think I still have a couple of those kits, but originally they were made to convert p61's to p61-a's......and it was was never really easy to do (the burnpot wasnt drilled and tapped for it, etc). I would think it would be easier these days to convert a new p38 to autoignite, but you would need a new circuitboard, which would fit on the standoffs......as for converting an "old" p38, would be more complicated, but do-able, just dont think it would be worth the expense to make it autoignite.....have to add the parts up, but you'd need and igniter, wiring harness, circuitboard (and likely more)......thats around $400 for the parts alone, let alone labor......unless you do it yourself.....interesting project.....

pretty hard to argue with those numbers! youre missing the burnpot gasket tho, and shouldnt need a new ESP probe......just a dipswitch setting on the new board needs changed (switch 5, I beleive)Sounds good but still a tad expensive.

yea, not arguing, just dont think converting is cost-prohibitive, thats all......Hello
Ok, took out the ESP probe. I can cut my own Lytherm burn pot gasket for $4 so $586.33 for everything!
