The burner went out - possilby due to high winds, don't know for sure. Anyway, after I lit the pilot light, the burner lit and then started cycling high and low flame with a bout a 2 second cycle time. After a few minutes the cycling stopped and was burning steadily. Only thing that I wonder about now is why the flame is so yellow. The heater was only off for maybe 6 hours today.

I only had a cell phone camera with me and recorded this very short video of the flame -- in case maybe that is enough to tell whether it's a safe flame or needs a pro to come take a look at it.

I couldn't find any sites where I could upload an MP4 file for free, so i posted at this binary website using the same subject as this posting.

Is just the tip of the flame yellow or all of the flame yellow. Yellow
means the fuel is not burning efficiently. What kind of fuel?

http://tinypic.com/ allows video. (maybe short) or do a screen shot
and post a photo there with a URL back here. My NNTP server does allow
binaries.

All is well again. It's now about 6 hours after lighting it. When the burner is off, the pilot is a normal shade of blue with no yellow. When burner comes on, it's an even yellow, no flare up or noises other than normal.

Will post a video of the flame is someone can tell me a site where I can post without signing up with personal info.
