hi there,i have a problem with my oil burner.iam not getting a spark or
any oil from the burner on start up,but the air motor is running.it looks like the pcb board is not getting power???? any ideas????New control board and pe/cell makes no difference.

 

[oilman]

Are you getting 50V on the white motor wire?

 

[karlbut]

yes there is 50volts on the white wire,

 

[oilman]

Could be the coil, drive coupling or pump. Or you could have run out of oil.

 

[outinthestix]

Or it could be the control box.

 

[oilman]

New control board and pe/cell makes no difference.

 

[karlbut]

i have oil,i have been back to the supplier of the control box and he has agreed to replace.Do you need the coil to opperate to get a spark from the electrodes????I DIDNT THINK YOU DID.

 

[Terrywookfit]

If the coil or photo resistor are faulty, all you get is a pre purge.

the controller this evening,i will let you know how i get on.thanks for all your help.
