R When my oil burner kicks on, the lights in my kitchen and living room
R momentarily get brighter. The lights are not on the same circuit as the
R burner and I have a 200 amp service with practically no load on it. Any
R clues??

Faulty neutral somewhere - could be in your service panel, could be at
the pole transformer. Probably best to have an electrician look for
it: they might be able to see problems your untrained eye would not.

As for the multiple posts, over the time I have been with this
newgroup I have seen other messages posted multiple times. If
something is changed in the original message (timestamp, add or
subtract a character) then it is treated as a new message. Not a big
deal.

Barry, thanks for the advice on both counts. I figured a bad neutral as
well, just haven't found any problem there, and it only affects this one
lighting circuit. I'll dig deeper

I had a similar problem a few years back and the ground on the main line
coming into the house had been broken so the line was not grounded
properly. When the elctrician fixed this the problem went away.
