Jerry,
Probably goin to need more info and pic without the front cover showing the burner and controls.
Duomatic Olsen was one of the last furnaces to use a mechanical fan/limit switch.
That's a grey Honeywell box with a white button on the front of the furnace.
That white button is auto with the button pushed in and manual(runs constantly) with the button pulled out.
Check the button. If it's out push it in and see what happens.
If you don't have the button will need some pics and model number.
Good Luck,

If your furnace does have a mechanical fan control, try tapping on the side of it with a screwdriver handle. Sometimes those controls stick & a good firm rap will free them up. What are the settings on the fan/limit control?

Tried tapping and still running, not sure but the blower is wired in to the switch on the side of the furnace. That would make it, like turning on a light .wouldn't?

The blower is wired to the switch on the side of the furnace????
The only reason I can think of why anyone would do that is to run the fan all the time for filtration or simple circulation but there are far better ways to do that.
Is there a wiring diagram anywhere on the furnace (usually on the inside of the blower compartment door)?

Jerry,
You have the hot wire going in the bottom.
The blower going into the top left side marked fan
The burner goes to the top right marked limit
The terminals in the bottom where the power goes in should have a jumper.
All Commons are tied together.
Google fan/limit switch and one oh the choices is PEX SUPPLY.
Go there and click on Manuals and you can see the schematic.
