Hi yall,
Just bought my first pellet stove used, a Whitfield Advantage 2-t standalone. Got it home and installed and the combustion fan wont kick on. Took the 2 yellow wires off the sensor that's attached to it, hoping that was the problem, touched them together and it starts the convection fan instead. Wired incorrectly? Moved one of the black combustion fan wires to an open connection on the connection board and tried touching the sensor wires together again. This time it still controls the convection fan, but now the combustion fan also spins for a half second and then dead again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. A picture of your connection board with where each color wire goes would be amazing. Or any other advice if I'm totally off base.
Thanks in advance!

your manual can be found (broken link removed to http://pdfstream.manualsonline.com/3/32667c25-7c03-49bb-8e3d-59c293e2c2df.pdf)
there is a wire diagram near the end. it may have diff colors but will give you a good idea if it is wired wrong.
