Great customer, I always like the conversations with the older folks. They are the most appreciative for what you do. We need to take care of the elderly, that will be us someday.
My younger days doing yard work for retirees ,storied past were my highlight after finishing job , such nice ppl especially the Grindells , and Mc Callisters Good folks all around ,✌️✌️👍💪🙏💙💎💎😔
I've learned so much from you Steve. Every time I see you working on these boilers u learn more and more. I maintain and repair my own boiler since watching you. And I'm not a hack like most homeowner weekend repair guys. Lol
Nick Chubb switched our church from 120/240v open why delta to 120/208v 3 phase and Bradley Chubb says the iron fireman burner motor will run on either voltage
This Portuguese cat could have his own youtube channel, seems like a really good guy. Good job Steve as usual.... "Of course I can fix it, I ain't gonna let ya stinkin" :)
I used to have a house in Asheboro North Carolina that had a furnace with one of those things. I hated it because every time they brought Me oil, it gave trouble. Unfortunately My tank was full of rust. I don't live there now, so that house is somebody else's problem now.
I see...the oil pumped-in probably stirred-up a lot of sludge from the bottom and the furnace sucked it in. When I fill my tank, I shut the furnace down and give the tank a few hours for the crap to settle to the bottom. Sometimes, the oil company does not flush-out their truck tank and they add sludge!
The smart people are having their boilers and furnaces looked at now. The not so smart ones always seem to call on the first freezing day of the season. And for me, it’s always the same 10-12 people!
I do not miss working on oil. One was REALLY nasty. It had "puffed back" and sooted up house. I went up there, tore down the burner, checked oil supply, spark transformer, changed nozzle and fired it back up Worked OK. Decided to check pump pressure. Did so, reconnected everything, fired it back up. Had great draft, exchanger seemed clean, fire looked great. House remodel resulted in wall quite close to front, you had to lean on wall and lean over to look into inspection door. I propped it up with wrench and had my mirror out, It had been firing maybe a minute just great when it puffed back again. WHAM I had my glasses on, otherwise...............................Owner had been thinking of converting to high efficiency gas (L/P for them there) and that was IT. Never found the cause. I asked the crew to dump the old one at the shop so I could diagnose it further, but they took it to scrap. Crew said they found nothing in chimney. This was in the late 80's
Bradley Chubb replaced the church oil burner unit with fusion and is now on 460v 3phase, he closed the breaker and nick chubb noticed a big blue white fireball! Saquan Barkley found it and stomped it out thank god!
I understand the premise. You realize that everything old is new again. How many old systems had interrupted ignition and oil valve. I dunno. It’s not a contest. lol
An electronic transformer can’t be tested by jumping the arc across the electrodes. It shorts it out. However, there are only so many cycles those transformers run before they Peter out and don’t work anymore. Just like you Steve, I hate them as well. Good work
@@lordgilby He shouldn’t have. That can be done on a copper core transformer. But there is a chance that the electronic transformers can short out. I’m not fond of them either
My parents built their house 67 years ago, My brother now owns it , the furnace has a beckett system on the hot water baseboard, its all original system, just new nozzles every few years. Its not very practical system. He will have to decide.
Thanks, man! I wondered what it was. I just paid $600 for a service call and one of those. I am glad I did not try to test it. How DO you test one? (electronic transformer)
@@craigharding475 They make a tester. Or you can use a multimeter. Depending on how old one is determines if I test or just replace. Generally if you have oil at the drawer assembly, the nozzle is good, and the motor runs, it’s time for the transformer to be replaced.
After 50 years of working on oil-fired heating systems in Alaska you can't possibly properly tune an oil burner without an analyzer you need to know your flue-gas temperature the O2 and your efficiency otherwise you're not treating your customer properly and you're going to have issues with the burner

If we could exhibit some humility and grace as our seniors often do..we would improve as a species..alas, the yungins never listen
Maybe..

@@petero2693 Yeah, let's see if the check clears......ha ha !
Steve your a good man taking care of the old folks ! Farmers and All

Steve's a Great Guy i learned a'lot from watching his Videos,,
Gotta love the old oil units, everything is so simple.
Have no fear Steve is here!
Thanks so much. I watch you video I'm working out for me. Great job, Steve keeps the good work 👏
Fuel, air & spark= combustion 👍
I love your clean work - many thanks!
Great Job ! Im a beginner in the field, Is that correct that having a delay valve and light up right away …. I guess the burner has a R8184 A
Steve Lav workin' on a Beckett in August, y'all. Payin' the bills.
I would get mine worked-on too, but we have mid-nineties heat wave, and I expect that my tech is still busy with AC units.

Dak prescott serviced it and soot flew everwhere
Don't fear, Steve is here.
Great info, video. One question, how and when to you adjust the air intake on left side - next to oil valves....same type burner, but a Gramsby stove
…”sure I can fix it…that’s why you pay me the big bucks!”
Brake cleaner is amazing when cleaning these burner assemblies
Steve: "Spock"
Customer: ???

I like the shots of the truck.
I was waiting to hear the phrase,"Good enough for this Neighbourhood anyway."
Title could of been "Burner Issues, Crazy Bull Story"
@RedLiver I couldn't understand 80% of what that guy was saying. Lol. Not bad english though for no school
@@WeatherNut27 I'm from Ireland and can understand every word... maybe he has Irish lineage...
Great video ..saved me a maijor headache ......same issue ...i got no spaak ..lol great video

Afternoon Steve and “Miss Molly”!
Thank you man you helpful and funny I need you to fix my burner I am in north New Jersey
Nick Chubb found control fuses blown in a 440v powered iron fireman and got it to ignite by nuclear fusion!
Lmfao he might not take a shower for another week 😂
Second job I saw the electrodes
cleaned. Something new to me:
No spark. Defective transformer.
Great job.
There are a few other things that will give you No spark, you have to diagnose before you start changing things.
Steve said he was not a fan of electronic transformers. Do you have any idea why?
Great job and video like always ( Steven )
Nick Chubb replaced an ignition transformer to our church oil burner nuclear fusion accelerator, runs on 208v 3 phase!
Some people just dont like to clean their furnace.

Odell Beckhamm says an OBIT can be dangerous and draws big arcs of of 15kv
Baker Mayfield had a oil burner soot back on him a few times!
Thats twice in the last few videos you shouted out the slogan of the human shoprag, Elkskins. Fire it up, fire it up, fire it up!
He could have checked for spark first thing. I probably needed new nozzle for sure.
Nick Chubb replaced the spark transformer at our chruch and it runs on 120/208v 3 phase

love your videos steve.
Nope it was my taco 571-2 zone valve that needed to be unstuck
You make hamburgers out of him? hahaha
Your the best at those oil burners, Steve, good job.
I'm an equipment guy. What brand of backhoe did this customer have?
its and small old ford i believe would make a good back yard unit
Ya got no spaaak
Lol The first sign that fall is slowly coming
Steve i have a newmac
Hi steve!!!!
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍. it’s a real stinker mama! Nice job Steve!
Of all your vids I've watched, that's the 1st to see all the dust bunny's!! I wondered if screens were missing off vents!!!
Got no spak
I have a beckett like that on my furnace..piece of shit, I'd love to put a 9mm in it
👍🏻
Stay safe.
🥃🥃🍺🍺🍺👍🏻
Love the accent
Mikey pipes, said you drive a bread truck !!
Sounds like the tank is full of crap Momma.
Oil flow when he showed up. Not the problem.

Good work
I've seen the rep from Beckett in PA do a screwdriver test to it and recommend it. I'm not fond of spark ignitors all together
@@lordgilby He shouldn’t have. That can be done on a copper core transformer. But there is a chance that the electronic transformers can short out.
I’m not fond of them either

I bet some of you new kids don't know why the shutoff valve has the stem sticking out the way it does...................
no, explain
