My Weil-Mclain tankless oil burner only starts when i hit the reset. After a minute ot two the flame sputters out but the motor keeps running for another 7 seconds or so. Help!

    starving for oil?

    Are you our regular Murph, or a new murph?

    Assuming it has a cad cell primary it sounds like air is getting in somewhere between the tank and the pump causing it to lock out on flame failure. Has anything been done to the system prior to this happening? Maybe the tank filter has been recently changed and not bled properly? Filter gaskett sucking air? Any visable oil drip? (even a light one) maybe a restriction from the filters not being changed? ROOKIE

    Flameout

    I agree with Noel and Rookie. Could be low on oil, air, or a restriction. A slipping burner coupler could also be the cause
