Becket oil burner keeps shutting down. I've had it serviced repeatedly for the last 3 weeks. Cleaned replaced the pump and motor but it keeps shutting down. If u press the button it'll run and restart on it's own but shuts down again within a few hours


Not really enough information to go on. Do you get a blow back or puff when it fires? If it is tripping the limit switch it is most likely overheating. You may need to look for a restriction in the smoke pipe.
