The motor starts up when she hits the reset button-
she now says as much as 30 seconds- and there is no
indication of ignition before it shuts down.

I have a GF who lives hours away and has returned home to
find only lukewarm tap water, a cold house (hydronic baseboard)
and a Beckett oil burner that will run for only a few seconds before
it shuts off. She has tried resetting it to no avail. She has detected
a small water leak (slight drip) which does not seem signiicant as she
describes it over the phone.
I realize that many things could be wrong, but is anything most
likely? I'd guess something in the safety mechanism is causing this
(low water pressure?), or that the burner is not getting oil, but I
just don't know.
Help much appreciated!!!!
