Default any good websites for Oil Furnace Service/Repair?

my piece of shit furnace is screwing up again and its not even december... Just tested the CAD Cell, and its fine... Its funny... It only wants to die in the middle of the night... never during the day when I can get parts...

Anybody know some good sites for basic furnace maintenance? It fires and ignites... After 30-40 seconds it trips the breaker, which says either A. Fuel Clog, or B. Misfire... Cant be B. because the CAD cell is working correctly (50ohm when ignited). And its a fairly new nozzle...

I may throw one of the old nozzles in tonight... but like.. UGGHHHH... I hate you oil furnace.

When I actually WOKE UP, I realized that I haven't done a fuel filter on it since winter... Just went out and bought a new filter, new nozzle, and new CAD Cell just in case... Along with some HEET anti-gel... Filter was GUMMED UP...

Also took pics of the process and will do a writeup...

Yeah, I was gonna suggest you look at the filter.

I should have done a write-up on installing an old mobile home furnace in my dad's garage. It's pretty ghetto
