WOW, I guess I can't get what I pay for, The only thing the technician did to my unit was replace the nozzle and Fuel filter, All he wants to do is try to sell me a new unit because mine was installed in 1994, But still functions well. Had to call him back within 3 months of preventive maintenance to replace the flame sensor because the wire was petrified And pinch together From where it was crushed underneath the spark Box. That was another $160 on top of $120 paid 3 months ago.
? GR8 VIDS! I WATCHED MANY.help??? mega info :) I CANT GET MY BECKET RUNNING RIGHT.theres a few things going on. the gap is even with the nozzle.only the electrodes stick past it.like theres no space.between the two.yet the elec is 1/16 past the nozzle technicly. their flat/no points and i see after 1 day the carbon is scoring on the bottom 1/8 on boyh electrodes.no scoring on nozzle..but nozzle has a darkish droplet stuck to its bottom.once it croaks totally i remove the gun,line and scrape everything down n it runs for a few hours... ITS STALLING AFTER 1 MIN THEN LLOCK OUT>pump goes 20sec b4 lock out " " " 2 min "" stumbles every 20 sec...sometime 1min..sometime never thru a cycle up to 12 min.. i jumped the cad eye no difference..ohms are 1500 off 500 on ....sometimes after it wont run past a min...40min later it WILL RUN A WHOLE CYCLE but stumble and catch stumbles usually 1/2 second..the longer it stubles the better chance it wont recatch.. again it wont run past 1 minute...it always runs dead for 20-30 secs b4 lock out. if i shut the heat off after a lockout.it will reset itself... just had full tune up. spark is hella strong!!looked too strong compared to utube tests...the aqua stat hums lightly..flame is bright orange/yellowish...on restart i never see a puff of smoke...IF IT DIES..I CAN TURN THE ON/OFF SWITCH AND IT WILL LIGHT RIGHT BACK UP FOR A MINUTE AT LEAST...once the on/off switch wouldnt even trigger the cad box took 10min to reset somehow....theres a spring loaded check valve in the gun fuel line im getn susiscious of..i blow the line out by mouth and oil comes out in a straight stream pretty easy..the B.damper dances pretty hard constantly.seems like somethings killing spark,,those 20ish seconds the pump is going w/out fire,i see no light thru the crevices and cracks by the coil..sometimes it runs nice catches every stumble fast..sometimes it does the 1min/2min thing or 40sec. its like a crapshoot everytime it clicks on!!!!!!! when i take the tiny oil line off to remove gun,i never see any dripping oil.yet the gun is 30%full.?also under the gun i s wet. not much just a thin coat..it never ignites,it might be moisture 4 all i know.
at 45sec "a tuneup will avoid service call"....... BS!! well, yes it will avoid CERTAIN problems but with statements like that, its noras fault so many customers believe that bs & try to blame you / not pay when a part breaks 4 or 8 weeks later. sometimes after a tuneup a cust. says "so ill be trouble free this winter?" I respond , "can't predict it". ......& what genius installed that filter like that on the wm gold in this video?...... he goes through all that trouble to jump tt around 13:25 interesting
Juck! This has a strong religious undertone. It's like the jehova witnesses showing up at your door asking "do you have a moment to talk about your oil burner?"
Start monday as a oil burner apprentice been watching this video over and over again.
I watched it 12 times drunk and I’m still confused
Most thorough oil heat tune up video I have seen on the web.
What an excellent video with excellent advice for both the technical side, and the business/customer service side of it.
Amazing video

Hahahaha.....I'm surprised the oil filter wasn't touching the ceiling. WTF
Brand new boiler? Why didn't you do a real tune up?
Where can i find your video?
Now if you see a gold check for leaks. It’s prob leaking
Preventive....
