Here's my current list of new installed parts- safety thermostat 230- thermostat 407- thermostat 717- igniter assm. 552- heat detector 729- dual coil 731- main coil Gene M

If so it may have bad contacts. You can take the timer apart to check for burnt contacts. Timer AP2042833 Lots of times the contacts can be cleaned with fine emory paper.
