the priming issue I noticed was posted a couple of days ago. as I read the replies to MandyBaby's question, it seems there are conflicting answers about priming.
Do you shut off the furner and then prime or do you lossen the screw with the furnace on and bleed it while you hit the reset button? :confused:

You have to have the oil burner running when you open the bleeder plug.You have to have it run till you get all of the foam out . When the pump has picked up the oil the burner should light;) ED
