Move it to...? It's empty space, like Nature can't stand a vacuum, I can't stand empty space.

Clean the cad cell. It may be getting all sooty.
If it can't see the light from the flame within a certain amount of time, it trips. That's so you don't fill the combustion chamber with raw oil.


When I was a very young kid, we had an oil burner that did not light, but kept pumping oil into the chamber. Then it suddenly lit, and the house burned to the ground. A week before Christmas. I don't remember much about things back then, but I remember that day

Jerry, CALL THE MAN! And certainly don't go automagcating RED button actuation without seeing the actual button and attached machine.

I would miss your running commentary of Southern NY.
