    Mobile home kerosene furnace won't kick on
    Hi,
    I'm at my wits end. I have an older International furnace with an Eagle One (Wayne) burner. A few days ago, it would spray fuel into the firebox but it wouldn't ignite. Took everything apart, cleaned it all and that didn't work, but a light sanding of the contacts on the electrodes and the springs on the transformer seemed to fix it. However, today it started not kicking on. It will work fine for a while, but then it just doesn't kick on without us hitting the reset on the relay box. I've cleaned everything it's possible to clean. Nothing is clogged. Nozzle is brand new as are the electrodes. The motor was replaced Nov 2007. The pump and relay box about 3 years ago give or take a year.
    It's COLD and I'd like to be able to go to sleep without waking up with frozen pipes and all that lovely stuff but I keep having to get up to reset the darn thing. Any suggestions? Please!

    Thanks
    Shar
    PS I stand corrected, it's back to not firing again. Not all the time, but once in a while... and the transformer feels overly hot to me... maybe I just need a new transformer?
