I need some advise on a oil fired Beckit gun burner. I got a call from a homeowner, had to hit her reset every day. Found that this furnace has a orginally a oilpump with purge on it, solid stae primary control. Both parts had been replaced, the ignition transformer was small compared to the old burners I have worked on in the past. The last company replace the nozzle, primary controll with new cad cell( old style ),oil pump with out the purge. Could not find any information on this burner. I re installed the correct nozzle and installed a conventional ignition transformer and the furnace fires and runs great now. My question is, was the original controll and transfomer wired to where once flame was established, did the primary controll shut the ignition out. Next question, this origanly transformer was so small in size, I could not see how it could handle the constant run time. Any help would be great, always love new imformation

the old one ..........

seems what you removed is an "starter" a transformer that starts the fire...then goes off once the flame is established..that help? oh the theory is that it will continue burning ....the pump bleeder for the single pipe system went home with the last people to stop by,if not theres a dead pump body take it out of it.or better yet get a tiger loop and a bypass plug and dont worry about it.

ok the new transformer is a solid state igniter 14,000 volts vs 10,000 volts the nre trans can be wired to either constant or interuppted ignition
