my oil burning furnace recently stopped working...I demand heat, the motor runs, but no flame is detected, so it shuts off and gives me the 1/2 sec. blinking on the unit, which I am no stranger of. so I checked for spark, spark is great, so I purged the oil line while demanding oil, and the flow is great, and no air left in the line. so I try to demand oil again, but this time with the oil feed tube disconnected (the one that sends the oil from the pump to the gun) and I get nothing. so oil is getting to the pump, and circulating in the pump, but not being allowed to exit the pump to go to the gun

I proceeded to remove the pump, take it apart, and examine it. everything is perfectly in order, which led me to the bypass valve. checked it for resistance, nothing, not the slightest bit of anything coming out of it. so there is my culprit. my problem is, I cant for the life of me find a replacement part for it without buying the whole pump with the valve attached, or even a part number so I can look for it.

can one of the heating pro's on here point me in the right direction for a replacement valve for the pump in the attachment?

spent a few days looking for this thing, and within 20 minutes of posting this, I found the damn thing...for those who look at this in the future, it is Suntec 3713824, found them all over the place on the internet for like $10

just wanted to update this thread real quick. valve came in on Thursday (5/12), installed it, purged the line, and the furnace fired right up. it helps to do a little trouble shooting before calling an expert or replacing parts that are otherwise fine
