Hello, I am getting my 90s Jamestown J1000 going. It's an older manual model.
It burns well but is only feeding using the manual Auger timer.
I have read it could be the vacuum hose. Worst case scenario the circuit board.
I have also read the there is a reset switch.

I do not know where the vacuum hose or the reset button is. I'm a novice when it comes to using a multimeter but could figure it out.
Any help greatly appreciated.
 
If they stop about 20 minutes after lighting the
stove I would suspect the proof of fire switch is not reaching
the temp. necessary to signal the board to keep feeding pellets
I don't know what that stove uses for a proof of fire switch

Thanks.
When I turn the manual dial for the feed on it doesn't feed either?
