    OK that is a lot better. You have a OLD gas gun burner. There will be a model number on the silver tag on the front of the burner or somewhere on it. See if you can find that number and I have a bunch of old Intertherm/Miller/Home LSI manuals. I think that might be a Beckett conversion.

    I hate to say this but parts if you need them might not be available anymore.

    OK the number you posted is no good and I cannot locate any information on that burner. Since it has a thermocouple on the gas valve it is probably a standing pilot unit.

    My best guess is to remove the black cover with white tag located between the burner and gas valve. Somewhere in there should be a pilot to light. Follow the instructions on the gas valve turn lever. Make sure the power is off to the furnace while doing this.

    Sorry but this is as good as it gets since it has been 30-35 years since I saw one of those setups. Now days they are all electronic ignition and much simpler to keep running. Good luck and if you are on propane gas I suggest you call for a local service company to check this burner over.

    It looks like there are 2 screws to remove just above the valve (1/4 inch) to see the pilot, then in the picture there's an ignitor (like a bbq) on the bottom beside the date & time. Turn the valve control to "Pilot" push in the knob & press the ignitor 3 or 4 times, if it doesn't light you may have to clean the pilot assembly or you may have air in your gas line.

    I am glad you showed up Propane Tech. I could not remember exactly how to explain to fire it up. Most of the ones I ran into years ago had a broken or non functional push button for the ignitor so we used a match and it was a real pain to get lit. Once you mentioned ignitor I ran a check on my stored info under Nordyne and found the factory directions under Nordyne/Beckett burner change over. Thanks again for helping this person out. Posted below is out of the directions for the burner. I suggest collken copy Propane Teck instructions and the instructions below for future reference. Good luck getting the burner going.


    LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR STANDING
    PILOT MODELS.
    a. Stop! Read the safety information.
    b. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
    c. Turn off all electric power to the appliance.
    d. Push in the gas control knob slightly and
    move to “OFF.” DO NOT FORCE.
    e. Wait ten (10) minutes to clear out any gas.
    If you then smell gas, STOP! Follow step “d”
    in the SAFETY INFORMATION. If you don't
    smell gas, go to the next step.
    f. Find pilot - follow metal tube (pilot tube) from
    gas control valve. Open hinged fire observation
    door. The pilot is found at the end of
    the pilot tube just left of the pilot shield.
    g. Slightly depress the gas control knob and
    move it right to the “ON” position and release;
    then move it to the “PILOT” position.
    h. Move the control knob to “SET” and hold.
    Immediately light the pilot with a match. If this
    furnace is equipped with a Piezo Ignitor,
    activate spark lever/button several times
    until flame is visible through observation
    door. Continue to hold the control knob for
    about one (1) minute after the pilot is lit.
    Release the knob and turn back to the
    “PILOT” position. Pilot should remain lit. If it
    goes out, repeat steps “d” through “h” above.
    If the knob does not turn back when released,
    stop and immediately call your service
    technician or gas supplier. If the pilot will
    not stay lit after several tries, move the gas
    control lever to “OFF” and call your service
    technician or gas supplier.
    i. Move the gas control knob left to “ON”.
    j. Turn on all electric power to the furnace. Set
    the thermostat to “Heat” and/or set the desired
    temperature on thermostat.
