Thanks for looking! I've had a tech o my house three times now. Quick background.
1.oil delivery in august...now won't run. I figure the crap in tank got stirred up. (note to self...turn off furnace when getting delivery)
- Tech guy works on it. New filter/tune up. Gets it running. next day won't run
- Tech guy cleans nozzle... runs for about 2 weeks.
- I figure purchase new nozzle and replace. Runs good for a while, but have to put in new nozzle every few weeks.
- Has been running better, but when I run heat for first time, smokes up the room.
- call tech guy to clean it (he didn't want to first time). he cleans out furnace and replaces filter. Quits working next day.
- I replace nozzle and add some HOT oil treatment. It starts up, but shuts down after a few minutes.
So now if I hit reset it starts up and burns for a few minutes and then shuts off. If I hit reset it will start every time, but won't stay lit.
There is a small hinge in the becket where I can see the light from the flame. I watched it carefully and the pump stops running, then the flame goes out.
