Just want to make sure everything is OK, I'm pretty handy with mechanical and have, with help , replaced a few parts on this oil burner and have been doing a yearly maintenance myself for the last 12 years, however just had a power outage for about 3-4 hours , Temps are about 25 - 30 F. And once power came back on notice the burner would rapidly cycle of and on for about 30 sec or so then stop for a minute then go again. This continued fir about 8 min or so each time the cycling was short and the Gap in between longer. Now seems to be ok and operating normally, just did not notice this after a power loss.

    Turn the power to the unit completely off for about 10 minutes (hard reboot).
    Then power it back up and see if everything is back to normal.

    What's the operating control, burner model, and primary control?
    It doesn't seem normal.
