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.

My point is that are poor professional techs and good amateurs and
vice versa.

We all agree with this.

Automatically giving someone such useless advise as the
above is pointless.


It is not useless advice. The automotice newsgroups are full of
people shotgunning also, and it's no more right there than here.

Have you even tried putting an ammeter on this to measure
current draw on this circuit? Or any other instrumentation whatsoever?

Is the oil tank underground? If so has it been checked for the presense
of water in the oil?
