Great video, repaired our burner myself after multiple attempts by service company. Thank you for taking the time to help us out!

You told me things they never taught me after 2 training classes- Thank You! You definitely understand T-shooting unlike many Techs who are monkey see monkey do.

Excellent video. It ALMOST makes me want to return to the east coast where I used to work on oil-burning furnaces and water heaters. I don’t miss it a bit. :) Funny. I had one call for an oil burning furnace not working. Customer complained entire house stunk of exhaust. When I smelled it, it was like there was a Mack truck idling down in the basement. Turns out customer purchased a new couch that sat very low to the carpet (very small legs). They put it over their cold air return in the family room causing a vacuum in the basement—a vaccuum pulling on the exhaust damper! We ended up having some custom legs made for the customer to raise the couch to allow air to enter unrestricted into the return. One thing I’ll never forget was how it could suck closed the door to the basement and slam it pretty hard. That’s how tight the house was and strength of the vacuum created.

The 12 point side of an 11/16 wrench fits perfect over that igniter nut behind the oil line

Great job. Very easy to watch and listen to. The video was well done and we could see all the wiring etc. We used it to troubleshoot and found that we needed a new transformer. Just finished installing it and cleaning the nozzle, screen etc and the furnace is now purring like a kitten. Thanks so much.

...Yep electrode was gone...needed your video...surely after powering up ...no spark at the tips... made a new one with an old one and we have LiftOff...!!! Thank You for all this...

Very good video. Please show more video on troubleshooting on oil furnace. I really enjoy watching all your videos. Keep up the good work

Thanks. Best video on this subject I've seen. Concise and to the point.

Many Thanks for this informative video. It saved my butt after I lost track of the wires changing out a bad primary relay.

If you are working on a real nasty one it’s safer to use a flare nut wrench on that fuel line. You can get a cheap imported set from any chain auto parts store for like $12 and it’s just a little bit more secure. Great video helped me a lot

Thank you for the great video, I knew my Teledyne pool heater was getting fuel and air, it just would not fire up. watched the video and was able to get up and running after disassembling and cleaning the jets.

Very good video. As a side note I would like know the 2 people in the world that constantly give these videos a thumbs down; unbelievable and sad.

@8:17 Awesome! That is not something I have seen on a video and I watched many oil burner videos. Very cool to see and understand. Thanks!

bought a brand new one, since the one i had was basically 25 years old. And it was so well built i only had to hook up 4 hours and it was clearly marked.

This video saved me last year. Let's see if we can do that again.

What an excellent video. Great explanation! Learned so much. Thanks!

Spark at the springs (alligator clip) seemed weaker than how it looked in the video, but when I performed the 'trick' at 8:15 spark at the nozzle looked fine. While I was in there I hit the conductors with steel wool. Put everything back together and it fired up. Not sure what did the trick but thank you for the troubleshooting tips.

Great video as always! Love them Beckett AFG Oil burners
