    If you've changed the pump & primary I would suspect the motor. Is the motor kind of stiff when you turn the fan by hand? If so, just to make sure the pump to motor coupling isn't too long, loosen the pump & pull it 1/8 - 1/4" away from the burner body, reset the primary & see what happens. If you still have the same problem, I'd suspect the motor.
