is the burner connected to a fresh air vent?cold air cold oil results are nuisance lock outs.if the oil tank is outside may need tank heater install.if it has fresh air vent try adjusting damper to allow some rooom air to heat air to burner.

the fresh air in take was cover with snow.the burner couldn't pull in air for combustion & snuff its self out.the back of the m-1 chamber bumps out a bit.it what holds the chamber in place.need to pulled burner & chamber to inspect hx.be sure to have replacement gaskets available

peerless ect boiler is also an option.but if i was you i would have an professional install burnham mpo boiler. most boiler companies only warranty a steam boiler for 10 yrs.too much fresh water will shorten life span of any unit.

check ohm reading of cad cell eye sometimes pre-heater blocks sighting of flame.if it's an inside oil tank remove pre heater
