I have a Beckett head on a Bock Hot water heater. The heater was
shutting off and cavitating (pulsating). I changed the pump and nozzle
and the pulsating went away. However, the burner still shuts off and
trips the breaker on the controls. I've replaced the light sensor,
transformer, controls and checked the gap on the electrodes.
Everything looked fine. I'm wondering if the aquastat could be causing
the burner not to light at times. When I press the breaker button the
burner heats the ho****er to temp. Then for some reason, over night it
pops the breaker on the control. ALso, the boiler is on the same line
and it rund and shuts off fine. Any suggestions?

You haven't quite replaced enough parts yet. Keep trying. Once you
change them all, you'll find out that you still don't have a freaking
clue on proper combustion of an oil burner. Hopefully, we wont read
about you in the obituaries.

Humm,
Perhaps I should discuss the time when I was out of the country on a
job, my furnace shut down and a relative called a pro to service it?
Two days after the "pro" serviced it, the burner puffed back so hard
it blew the stack pipe off, filling the house with enough soot to
cause an $18K insurance claim?

Or the time when I visited a neighbor hours after a pro serviced her
burner, only to find fuel oil spraying all over her basement floor?

Or the time techs from my local gas company replaced the delayed start
main gas valve on a furnace in one of my rental houses with an instant
start value? The flame roll out was indeed impressive.

etc, etc, etc

I've been installing and servicing heating equipment in my properties
for 31 years and have yet to endanger anyone.

My point is that are poor professional techs and good amateurs and
vice versa. Automatically giving someone such useless advise as the
above is pointless.
