Default oil burner problem

Steve, I had a similar problem. I fixed it by adjusting the electrodes on
the igniter.

sure where to start looking?

any advice?

thanks

Does this happen the whole time it is running or at the beginning? When
is the last time you had filter, strainer and nozzle changed? Does it
make an explosion sound when it is doing this?
