NORA Video 2, Preventative Maintenance, Tune-Up

Start monday as a oil burner apprentice been watching this video over and over again.

Most thorough oil heat tune up video I have seen on the web.

What an excellent video with excellent advice for both the technical side, and the business/customer service side of it.

Amazing video

Invest in jumper wires. Holy shit.

? GR8 VIDS! I WATCHED MANY.help??? mega info :) I CANT GET MY BECKET RUNNING RIGHT.theres a few things going on. the gap is even with the nozzle.only the electrodes stick past it.like theres no space.between the two.yet the elec is 1/16 past the nozzle technicly. their flat/no points and i see after 1 day the carbon is scoring on the bottom 1/8 on boyh electrodes.no scoring on nozzle..but nozzle has a darkish droplet stuck to its bottom.once it croaks totally i remove the gun,line and scrape everything down n it runs for a few hours... ITS STALLING AFTER 1 MIN THEN LLOCK OUT>pump goes 20sec b4 lock out "     "           "              2 min "" stumbles every 20 sec...sometime 1min..sometime never thru a cycle up to 12 min.. i jumped the cad eye no difference..ohms are 1500 off 500 on ....sometimes after it wont run past a min...40min later it WILL RUN A WHOLE CYCLE but stumble and catch stumbles usually 1/2 second..the longer it stubles the better chance it wont recatch.. again it wont run past 1 minute...it always runs dead for 20-30 secs b4 lock out. if i shut the heat off after a lockout.it will reset itself... just had full tune up.  spark is hella strong!!looked too strong compared to utube tests...the aqua stat hums lightly..flame is bright orange/yellowish...on restart i never see a puff of smoke...IF IT DIES..I CAN TURN THE ON/OFF SWITCH AND IT WILL LIGHT RIGHT BACK UP FOR A MINUTE AT LEAST...once the on/off switch wouldnt even trigger the cad box took 10min to reset somehow....theres a spring loaded check valve in the gun fuel line im getn susiscious of..i blow the line out by mouth and oil comes out in a straight stream pretty easy..the B.damper dances pretty hard constantly.seems like somethings killing spark,,those 20ish seconds the pump is going w/out fire,i see no light thru the crevices and cracks by the coil..sometimes it runs nice catches every stumble fast..sometimes it does the 1min/2min thing or 40sec. its like a crapshoot everytime it clicks on!!!!!!! when i take the tiny oil line off to remove gun,i never see any dripping oil.yet the gun is 30%full.?also under the gun i s  wet. not much just a thin coat..it never ignites,it might be moisture 4 all i know.

WOW, I guess I can't get what I pay for, The only thing the technician did to my unit was replace the nozzle and Fuel filter, All he wants to do is try to sell me a new unit because mine was installed in 1994, But still functions well. Had to call him back within 3 months of preventive maintenance to replace the flame sensor because the wire was petrified And pinch together From where it was crushed underneath the spark Box. That was another $160 on top of $120 paid 3 months ago.

Preventive....

Now if you see a gold check for leaks. It’s prob leaking

Brand new boiler? Why didn't you do a real tune up?

at 45sec "a tuneup will avoid service call"....... BS!! well, yes it will avoid CERTAIN problems but with statements like that, its noras fault so many customers believe that bs & try to blame you / not pay when a part breaks 4 or 8 weeks later. sometimes after a tuneup a cust. says "so ill be trouble free this winter?" I respond , "can't predict it". ......& what genius installed that filter like that on the wm gold in this video?...... he goes through all that trouble to jump tt around 13:25 interesting

Juck! This has a strong religious undertone. It's like the jehova witnesses showing up at your door asking "do you have a moment to talk about your oil burner?"
