Sonny:
These machines have been problematic for quite a few people that own them. I used to work in a shop that serviced them about 6 to 7 years ago and saw many have this problem. Kerosene works great when it works, but too often, it doesn't. Most of the problems center around the ignitor or flow control switch.Hope that helps you know where to look, but my advice is to switch over to a more reliable unit, like a Powerclean machine. |

Just go to a oil burner repair man it is the same burner as on an oil furnace. It will be much cheaper?

thanks man i think ive narrowed it down to the electrodes in the burner or the rectifier on the kohler. the ignitor seems to check out and i jumped out the waterflow switch but sometimes im only getting 9 volts @ the ignitor! wierd??
