In trying to find out what the score is, I left the Igniter plate off, when I started the stove the mag. showed .54 - .55.. The stove started before the second auger push. So how does one reduce the start up on the new board 3-20-05886F, as that seems to be the problem with the non start...
HARMAN P 61A/2 Starts after it has put at least a cup of unburnt pellets in the ash pan. On start up the mag. gauge goes to .70 then drops back to .68

You lost me. You left the burn pot ash clean out plate off? Why? I would be surprised if it would self light.
Directions/settings come with the new control board.

Try cleaning or replacing the ESP probe. I had a similar problem and putting in a new probe fixed it.

Nowhere does say anything about the very high draft when in start mode..

It is a ash clean out plate, and it must be in place for stove to light and run properly. "High Draft" test on a Harman is .50-.60"WC. The combustion blower speed will change according to programming, and the newer the board, the more active it is, for cleaner burning, less emissions. Yours may be a tad high, or your gauge may be off, but I don't see a problem. And there is a adjustment screw for it, can make somewhat of a difference.
The adjustment screw is cranked down as low as I can get it without the unit blinking.. .18 to .20 on the low burn...
