I have the baro hooked up with 1/4" copper tubeing to about 2 ft from the meter on the wall behind it. I reversed it like yours. With a good fire going this morning..(35 deg's out here) It is reading at the blue arrow in your picture. The Fields control is open about 2 inches. If I force it open all the way the red oil goes up the tube to 7 or 8 the most.
What do you think? Harman says to be -.06 to -.08 at the flue. Wouldn't that be above the blue arrow and if so I should adjust the baro to open more ? Or maybe it's time to try closeing the combustion flap a little.
