    Get a different tech.
    I can give you 900 ideas, but a competent tech would figure it out quicker. Anything from a vacuum leak, improper bleeding, bad pump cut-off, improper combustion set up, intermittent failing igniter and everything in between.
    Nuisance lockouts can be pretty frustrating. At the very least they could install a modern primary control that records run cycles and faults to point them in the right direction.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.
