Burners and Igniters

So the furnace is on the fritz as well. After procrastinating for a while I climbed up to the attic and took the covers off the furnace. And once again I'm staring at an electrical igniter and three burners all of which look just like the damn stove. I yelled down to Amanda to turn on the heat, and the fans spin up, the igniter glows, everything is ready but no gas. So I check the two manual valves to the gas line, they're open. I cycle them both, still nothing. Looks like either the control valve is stuck (there's one more electrically controlled valve that sends gas when needed to the burners), or the control valve is not getting the electrical signal to open/close. But since the igniter is lighting up right on time, and I don't have a voltmeter my guess is leaning toward a stuck valve. Diagnosis by way of lack of tools, always a good way to go.

Hmmmmm, so then the question becomes ... do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk? I'm debating taking the control valve apart and see what there is to see. But then it is hooked up to a 1/2" gas line, and even with two manual shut off valves you still get that feeling down deep in the ol' sack so to speak. Do I feel lucky? Well do I?

The rich and famous kill themselves in airplanes because they think their schedule is more important than the conditions. Engineers kill themselves because they just can't resist taking a stuck valve apart. I guess I'll climb back up there and take it apart as well. I'm like a moth to a flame.
