Mike-
You still around? Thought I would give an update on a possible solution to the original issue, which was momentary flame-outs on your CH-210 ASME.
I have a CH-180 ASME, and I would get a momentary loss of flame occasionally - usually when the unit is ramping up. I limited the firing rate to 30%, which I thought helped a little, but I have still seen the issue since, so that wasn't the issue.
So, last time I was inside the unit cleaning the intake screen, I looked at the connections. These CH units were apparently known for having bad grounds, so I had already scraped the paint away from the main ground connection to the case. But, as I was looking inside, I noticed another ground connection, and followed it back to the flame detector rod. I cleaned the paint off the case at that connection and I haven't had the loss of flame problem since doing so.
