FTR, the burner is a lot bigger than that. Maybe you mean the nozzle
assembly.


You CAN remove the whole burner assembly. There should be 2 to 4 bolts
around the round ring that holds it to the furnace. Remove them, remove
the fuel line (and plug it), remove the AC wiring and the thermostat
wires, The burner assy will pull right out. It's really not that hard
to do.

Before you do all of this, make sure there is oil getting to the fuel
pump. Just loosen the fuel line. Have a jar or can handy and see if
oil flows out of the fuel line...... There should be a bleeder too.
Kind of like the bleeders on car brakes. Use that to see if there is
oil instead of loosening the line.

Of the oil tank was empty. You might just have an air locked line. My
furnace used to do that regularly if i let the tank go empty.
BLEED BLEED BLEED it.....
