I have a Rheem Criterion 2 furnace (gas) that I am having problems with.When the furnace tries to start,only the 2 burners on the right where the ignitor is will light.The 2 left burners where the flame sensor is will not.So when the furnace tries to start,the right burners will light briefly then shut down and the blower starts to run.After a few minutes the blower shuts off and the furnace tries to cycle again.

When it tries to start or I should say light.If I take a small torch and hold it to the left burners they light immediatly and the furnace runs normally.Now sometimes they will all light and it will work good.However more times than not only the 2 right burners start then the unit shuts down after several attempts.

I of course changed the filter and even took out the screen between the filter and blower housing and cleaned it.I cleaned the flame sensor even though it's not getting any flame on start up.

So why won't all the burners always light?

I have a Rigid RG1000 Sportsman's Trophy Series knife in pristine condition. It is still in the original box and it is still wrapped in the original plastic bag with the original paperwork. Now I know that there was only 50 of these knives made. I can not find any information as to the value of this knife.
