hesitating oil furnace

in Oil Heating
Our 22 year old Weil-McLain boiler just recently started hesitating. When it starts up it runs about 30 seconds and stops for about 2 seconds. Then it starts up again and runs normally. It never used to stop for 2 seconds. Do you know what the problem is? Thanks! Michele

it's either
a Taco zone valve head, or a cad cell relay. Could be the aquastat, but unlikely.0 -
sounds like a
bad primary control.0 -
air in oil
Perhaps air getting in between the nozzle and the pump, during shutdown? Then a brief moment w/o oil when it first fires up.0 -
wasn't thinking that
but could be starving for fuel. Enough of an air leak or restriction, it should lock-out at some point if flame failure is long enough. I'm thinking electrical, possibly a cad cell control with recycle feature that is going bad. Carlin control was good for doing just that0
