lube the oil burner?
I've got an old old fired boiler for home heat, made about 20-30 years
ago. It's a Utica. The maintenance page that came with it says to fill the two oil cups that are on top of the burner motor. I don't see those. Thanks. O.U. Series Utica boiler with Flamelock burner |

I have that type on on a warm air furnace blower motor. The plugs are not all that obvious, so inspect closely. You may even find there are only a couple of 1/8" holes on the top of the bearing housing. HTH Joe |
