Gas and Oil Home Heating Furnaces - Need help with a New Yorker & an American Standard

I have 2 oil burners in my house and need help. I want to do a routine tune-up myself and don't know where to begin. I have an American Standard for my house and a New Yorker for my apartment, both draw from the same oil tank.

The installation manuals of your units should have the information you need.

To do a good and complete tune-up, you'll need some testers that do not come cheap (over $600 in investment). It'll be cheaper for you to hire-up a professional.

Where can I get a copy of the installation manuals, both are old.

Thanks.

If you post the full model numbers for both units, I'll try my best to find out the manuals

The article below shows info of a general nature, kind'a to get you started with what a tune-up involves

Not the burners M/N's but the furnaces'

Like Beckett or something, right?

Yes you can say to work on a oil burner is a DIY job. but with what fuel cost are to day it just dont pay. Call some one to check the burner out all the way and set it . The cost of what you need to do this is a lot more than a service call. Its new nozzle ,clean the blower wheel clean and set the electrodes.Check the burner transformer, new filter. Then check the pump PSI , check and set the draft on the Barometic damper. Run a Co2 test and then a stack temp and smoke test. Do you have all the things to do all that??;)

The American Std. A3 is an old (40+ years) boiler with an Arco Flame or Arco Leader burner if the burner is original. I presume the New Yorker is also a boiler but no nothing of it's age.
