in Oil Heating

Hello all! I have a model R 100A heater. Had issue firing off. Did complete tune up. Filters ,air rotor and segments. New nozzle, new ignitor. Set air pressure at 4 lbs as called for . Replaced fuel with fresh. problem is - the unit fires right off and runs fine until I go to put cover on. Then sputters and miss fires. Pull cover off and fine? Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

    Are all your air filters really clean?

    All filters are new

    Does it have a photocell in it that is maybe getting blocked for whatever reason by the cover when you put it on?

    I bypassed the photocell to eliminate the possibility.

    thanks
