How hard can this thing be?
All it does is boil water.

What does a professional know that I can't learn in a few weeks?
Is there a book out there on boilers?


Repairing an oil burner is one of those deals where if you have to ask
online for advice you probably shouldn't be doing it. It isn't
difficult particularly but there's more than one way that you can
screw it up in a fashion that is dangerous or that can result in
expensive damage. It's one of those jobs that you really want to
learn hands-on from someone who knows what they are doing rather than
reading about it in a book.

If you are absolutely determined to do it after reading about it in a
book, going to amazon and searching on '"oil burner" repair' (use the
double-quotes) will find several trade-school texts.
