A retired gas fitted friend came out, did an electrical check and said it was the solenoid. For the record, power was going to it, but there was no clicking on or off. He stated what a few here have stated and that was that he has never seen a Honeywell valve with a 240 volt solenoid head and a label on the valve saying 24 volt. He is of the oppinion that the same head is used for 24volt and 240volt by just fitting a 24 volt or 240 volt head and is there just as a reference. Anyway, that said, although this is new, it is faulty. So, the seller is going to take it back and exchange it.
