I have an old Burnham Jubilee boiler that keeps shutting off. I have to keep pressing the reset button on the motor control board on top of the motor. What could be causing the unit to keep shutting off like this?

The button you are pushing is the reset for the SAFETY control. Please stop pushing the button before you cause more problems or damage. You could check to see if you have oil because the lack of oil will cause the burner to go off on the safety. If more of a problem than lack of oil then you will be better served to call for a on site service to repair your burner. I only say this because you had no idea what the safety control was and I fear you might hurt yourself if you try and fix the unit. Just using logic and common sense. Sorry.
