Great video. very informative. TY

Great channel gd info thx!!
Good tips! Great video 👍
Glad it was helpful!
The most informative video I have seen on the burners. I have been having trouble with mine and this will help. I wished you would have shown how to adjust the igniters and check the transformer to see if it has enough juice to produce a spark.
If you're talking about the spark electrode ends, he shows a gage used to adjust/check those. Some burners have info/diagram printed somewhere on the housing. One way I check spark transformer strength is to start the burner then lift transformer back on it's hinges. If everything is working right, flame should continue. Or shut off fuel to keep burner from firing and shine light into cadsul eye to trick controller so that it continues to run. Use a well insulated screwdriver that is at least 6" long and run from one spring to the other. You should be able to get spark to jump from untouched spring to screwdriver half inch to 1 inch. Less than .25 inches and transformer might be weak.
I used the screwdriver to check the transformer and was scared shirtless because of the high volts it puts out. Did find out that my transformer was shot though.
I had been using the printed diagram in the furnace owners manual to adjust the gun and igniters. I then after about 5 years and a winter of fuel dripping into the burner before firing bought one of the orange adjustment gages. What a difference using that made. Not more bang on ignition and burns much cleaner. I guess my tape measure and eyes didn't agree on what I was reading. I was going to buy a stack gage but with the government wanting to outlaw oil furnaces it my be a waste of $ 300.
Thanks for replying. It helps when someone out there with knowledge knows how to service and fix them.
@@stevenjackson7067 glad I could help. I was definitely scared the first winter as a new tech checking ignition transformers. The voltage is very high but the concept is the same as something like a police taser. Its relatively safe because of the low amperage but really hurts. Ive never been hit by one personally but several ppl I know have. Worse shock I ever got was from a run capacitor on a compressor. Felt like someone smacked me across the back with a 2x4 😂🤣🤣
Yes I changed out the control box for my wells submersible pump. The box had a capacitor in it and I've heard of them before so I read up on them. I wasn't nuts about even opening the control box but being the cheap ass that I am I was willing to take the chance.
I shut off the power and let it sit a couple hours. Then with my meter I checked for amps, ohms, volts, anything I could think off. Even then I used an electricians insulated screwdriver. I made it through the swap but was sweating while taking the wires off the old box. I even warned the wife before I started that I may get one hell of a shock that could kill me. She didn't want me to touch it, but now that I think about it she only said that once while holding on my life insurance policy. Lol
What a great video. thanks
Thanks, Eric! Glad it's helpful.
Some motors / pumps have a little tube with a cover, and we are supposed to remove the cover and squirt 3 drops of oil down there to lube the bushings or bearings at the axle once year.
I get a 15 sec cut out on the 7505 relay . New cad. Nozzle . Gap good, pressure 110 # . Relay?
Super easy to adjust the air band when you have a special test stand.
Thank you!!
Glad it helped!
What if you don't have an DC controller and a solenoid? What if mine is so old that it all works with AC?
Great video, gave it a thumbs up. However there was no mention of the water flow sensor and how it can result in a "no ignition" condition or "no fuel" condition. The fuel pump solenoid gets power from this sensor when there is water flow? Thanks for the video.
Thanks for your feedback! It has been passed along to our training team.
This comment has really helped me this evening. Thanks
I think now I’m going to take my burner out like you did and put it on wheels to melt the snow in my driveway this winter. Yeah.🤡
😂
Am set up like your display, when I let go of the gun an the flame goes out but fuel keeps leaking for a second. Any idea why??
Hello Mark! We recommend you contact your local service center with more details about what you are experiencing so the issue can be properly resolved.
The issue I'm having with my Beckett burner is that it gives off a small explosion or kind of boom every time it ignites. Might it be necessary to lean out the oil mixture or might it be an Air Band Adjustment or what do you think?
Hello sir, can you please email us at info@crafco.com so we can put you in direct contact with your local Crafco rep for more hands-on troubleshooting? Thanks!
I think I’m getting too much fuel. I bought a used alkota. It was smoking black so i opened the airflow. Now it’s shooting flames out the exhaust 8”-12” high and it’s a truck mount. I don’t want my truck to catch on fire
I’m having similar with mine. A couple big plumes of black smoke billows for a few minutes, then flames up about a foot or 2, seems to correct itself as I run it though. Used unit, lot of soot buildup on coils, gonna run it hard this week and see what happens? Will have a fire extinguisher on standby! Let me know how yours works out. Smoking like crazy?
I also have fuel dripping under nozzle onto head and producing alot of white smoke.. i have a landa and it has a 2.00/80W nozzle. My other burner is running a 2.00/60B. Could these nozzles be too big
Hi there, this troubleshooting page from Beckett may help diagnose the issue. Granted, it's for their burners instead of Landa's, but the concepts should be the same. Hope this helps!

@@Crafco thank you

Hello Tim! I have sent your comment to our support team. We may need more information - to expedite your request, email info@crafco.com.
So heating oil is diesel or not can I run diesel not number 2 heating oil
For Crafco Melters, the burner is designed to run off of Diesel #1 or Diesel #2 that powers the burner and diesel engine on the melter. Some grades of Biodiesel work as well. If you have further questions about your specific machine, please contact our technical support team at 480-655-8333, and we can help you further. Thanks!

U pensilvania?
It's not a cat eye, it's a cad cell....
And it's not a "module", it's an igniter or an ignition transformer.
7505 cut off 15 sec . With all other things are on the mark. Relay?
Hi Peter, working on getting you an answer. Sorry for the delay! You can also reach your Crafco rep for more personalized help by finding them in this list: crafco.com/how-to-purchase/united-states/
Okay, the 7505 control is 120V, and not something we use on Crafco melters. For more information on the 7505, you can visit this link: www.beckettcorp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/61649-GeniSys-7505-Control-Manual.pdf (beckettcorp.com). It sounds like your control is going into safety lockout because of a fault. Hope this helps!
Dang I lernted something.
I would like to ask You what size Orifice are You Using in this Burner? In addition how do You size the Orifice to the Burner? The reason I am asking is on my burner the settings on the Sun tech Pump are set at 110 psi and the Orifice is a 1.25 GPH B Nozzle @ 80 degrees. But with the Burner assembly removed I see a estimate of 20 percent of the Diesel is being wasted because it isn't burning the fuel. My question is why isn't all the Fuel is being Burned? Is the orifice to small? Is there a Chart or Guide to show You the right Size Orifice for the BTU of Fuel You are Using? Or to produce 315,000 BTU's than you need so much pressure from the pump and certain size Orifice is needed for the BTU'S required?
