    POWERMATIC BOILER NOT LIGHTING UP..

    i cant get my burner to ignite...i followed the cord thats plugged into the generator all the way up to the switch....it seems 2 wires out of the cord are wired up to the switch but there is a 3rd wire that is just sitting there...is this a ground?
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes there is a ground on that cord. Does your motor that drives the kero pump turn?

    Were you able to fix the problem? I'm having the exact same problem with my unit.
