Ah, yes. As I sat in bed grumbling to my wife about this I hear my Android phone chirp. I saw this description and rewired the board as you stated and low and behold the auger continues to feed.
For those boiler challenged like me, but as someone who knows the power of archived forums fr troubleshooting computer networking issues, I will state that the two yellow wires came off the small computer circuit board that was attached to the back of the Primary Control device as you pulled it from it's mounting.
So Sting, does this tell us the main board is bad, or something else entirely? I'm going back down to the basement to check on it, but before I came up according to the timer I have down there now (dont ask) the auger had fed for over 5 mins. This is much different than before.
Thanks everyone for your input!

Ok, took the two from the right hand side and joined them. The auger continues to feed for 2 mins, then stop for 6. So I am assuming that didnt work?

Sorry, my firewall seems to be preventing me from uploading photos. I will try to post them tomorrow

Ok, first of all I am colorblind. (But I work in IT, wire computer systems and all that jazz)
Secondly my son and wife see color fine.
So, that said, two reliable sources told me there are four sets of "yellowish" wires coming into the box. The top left go to the Aquastat and bottom goes to the low water cutoff. So, my question is which yellowish do I wire together. (I understand that my setup is probably odd and thus the reasons for this, but I'll ask anyway)
Thanks

Hmm as I look at this I see the yellow wires, but my Primary Control of course looks different. Let me try to photo graph all of it.

Ok, just got home. So I will go take a look and see if I can get this to lock in and feed. Wish me luck

I missed that request. Currently I have 3 zones. I also have a propane boiler that sits "in front" of the pellet. But since I cant afford a huge tank of propane it is just sitting there passing the water on to the pellet stove.

I will try the wiring suggestion tonight and watch to see how it work. I will also try to diagram/document as much as I can.

Thank you both for your input

It's 4 degrees tonight and the boiler is still not getting up to heat. I'm at a loss for what to do next except call Trager and yell loudly or find a local guy. Just not sure what I am missing

I should note that I can not find this article Traeger Safety Disc Troubleshooting, and I am not really sure where the safety disc is at, but all start up instructions seem to refer to it.

I found it, forum.iburncorn.com/wiki/index.php/TraegerSolutions:10

Since I last typed all of this. I have cleaned the system out from top to bottom, there was no excess ash or build up.
I also checked all of the wires, connections, etc and all seemed to be where I thought they should be.
I did replace the Aquastat since it seemed like perhaps the boiler was being cut off from heating. when i took the old aquastat off it was obvious that maybe not enough thermal conductive compound had been put it or it had broken down. Placed the new unit in, filling the immersion well assembly with compound and angle the sensing bulb at an angle as per Rockwell's directions. I adjusted the unit to 200 degree max 160 degrees min with a 20 degree differential and fired the furnace.
The good news is that the boiler fed all day today and didn't go out. This is an improvement over the last time I posted. However the boiler still just has pellets feed for 2 mins and then just runs the fan for 6 mins for a total of my 8 min cycle time. When the boiler first starts it never feeds for longer than 2 mins, and the high temp never gets above 140 degrees.
From the wiring diagram for the aqua stat I have the jumper in place as per the directions (and the diagram trager has in the owners manual)
Any other suggestions or questions for things I may not have explained well enough? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Greetings. The company I bought this from is too busy to give me any real help with this, so I am turning to the experts.
Last year this system ran fantastic. This year has been mild till the past two weeks. I am having issues trying to get the boiler temp to rise beyond 120degrees. I have the Hi,LO and Differential all set to the factory recommended settings Hi set to 200, Lo to 160 and differential at 20. The pilot draft is set at 8 mins, since it seems to lose a pilot flame at 16mins.
Currently, the auger will engage and pellets feed (2 of the 3 cups are feeding) but I can't seem to get the boiler temp over 120. The auger shuts off and it waits 6 mins before feeding again.
I have looked for ways to trouble shoot this L6081A but haven't found anything. Can anyone suggest something, or need to know more information?

*I switched pellets and I may have figured out what my problem is. I'm up to 140 degrees now, so maybe it was old fuel. I have been trying to burn my left over from last year and perhaps these last few bags were too moist? Remains to be seen. All advice is welcome.
