My furnace started acting up a couple weeks ago while we were away for a couple days. I can remotely monitor our house and could see that the thermostat was calling for heat, but none being delivered. I have a separate heating system for our basement (glycol boiler and perimeter baseboard heating loop) so I just turned up the basement thermostat. When I get home, I find that the pressure differential switch that detects whether the draft is adequate or not was acting up. It had water accumulating on one side so couldn't provide a correct signal to light up the furnace. After fussing with it several times, I decided it was time to find a supplier for that switch. Finally found one and placed the order. 5 days delivery time. Continued to have to clear the water out of the sensing tubes for a couple days. The guess what? It starts working correctly again. Now I have a spare switch. Decided it is a good idea to keep the spare as insurance. It's been working just fine for several days now. The real problem is poor design. The switch is mounted low, below the the pressure sensing lines. So condensate (water) from the wet exhaust gas builds up over time and offsets the actual pressure differential. Had troubles with it when we first had the high efficiency condensing furnace installed about 20 years ago. Pointed out the problem to the installer/supplier and the "Maytag Man" wouldn't do anything about it. So over time, condensate builds up, and the problem re-occurs every so often. But not for the past 5 or 10 years. So I should move the switch to a location higher than the pressure taps so any condensate drains back to the source. May I'll get around to it some day! But I have a spare switch that should keep it at bay for ...

If your machine has a safety clutch, it probably needs to be cleaned and reset. Then set your timing.

In the future, only place items for sale in the marketplace. That will avoid confusion.

You need to state shipping info. Will you ship, where to, who pays for shipping, etc. See the marketplace rules here https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/

I moved your post to Leather Sewing Machines. You'll get more help here. Help wanted is more for hiring someone to do a job. Like the classifieds in a newspaper. Help wanted also requires all posts to be approved by a moderator.

Google is still a good search to use. Use site: leatherworker.net 132k6 This restricts the search to leatherworker. Add whatever search parameters you want to the search string. Google has larger servers, faster and better indexed.

Follow this link for some helps and suggestions. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171There are lots of Apps, software, and online tools available on the web, or even built into your device to enable you to reduce your file sizes. 800 pixels in the longest dimension is quite adequate. Smart phone screens and many monitors don't display high res files in high resolution. People that live on the fringes of the internet appreciate smaller file sizes and high res photos may take from 10 minutes to hours to download.

Just adding SOLD as the next comment is all you need to do. Then a moderator picks it up and moves to old/sold and locks it so it can't be commented on further.

For sale items should go in the marketplace. This is unusual to be posting for someone else. I'm moving it to the marketplace. See the marketplace rules here https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/

Some machines have a screw that locks the hinge to the machine base. Stops the machine from sliding around when tilted. Have a closer look at your machine and the type of hinge it uses. Maybe you will have an easy fix.
