I was not getting the feed auger to run. I bypassed the pressure switch and feed auger works. I tested the pressure switch by adding negative pressure (sucking on tube) and switch works. I checked hoses and fittings and "seem" fine. I add negative pressure to hoses and pressure gauge registers, but when everything is connected I am not showing any pressure on my gauge.

First question is should this be negative pressure or positive? If it is positive then how does the pressure switch work as it only activates the switch with negative pressure.

Regardless of the switch, what else should I check for pressure loss. I have checked door seals with paper test, visual inspection, and feel. If I open any of the doors the flame drastically changes, so I "think" it is not a door seal. It appears that there is a straight opening from the burn chamber to the pressure lines, am I missing something?

Burner is running fine with switch bypassed.
