I have a Lenox furnace that has been cleaned and inspected this fall by a heating contractor. The furnace has 4 burners. One burner tube was making rumbling noise and the flame was larger. Upon further inspection we found that the gas was actually burning inside the tube an inch or two back from the orifice. Found a small hole and crack which the technician said to have welded up. He assumed that would fix it. After welding the hole up the burner tube still burns back into the tube. Burners are made from sheet metal formed and spot welded. Burners are not corroded or worn out. I did find a place where three spot welds have failed and the sheet metal is wider where the gas comes through. I have included a picture. Gap is on the lower right side of the burner tube. Could this wide place be allowing the flame to jump into the tube itself? If so I will just pull it back together and put some spot welds on it. Thanks.
