Default "Kick starting" Beckett oil burner

In order to get my Beckett burner to start on my oil boiler I have to
give it a little bit of a kick on the side. I am getting a whole new
system in a few days because of the age of everything, but I would
like to not have to kick this stupid thing every time 20 minutes
before I need hot water.

Is there something I can check or clean off that might be causing the
sticking?


Didn't you ask this about a week ago? Same answer apply this week as last.

There were a half dozen answers on 9/25.

I have a Burnham oil boiler with a Beckett burner on it. The burner
does not fire up. It just kind of buzzes or hums a bit for about 30
seconds then shuts off. I am hoping I can get one more week out of
this unit because I am getting the whole unit replaced next week, but
I have a couple of cold days in the mean time.

Any tips on what might be the problem.
