It ran for an hour then stopped running. I waited an hour and tried starting it again -- it starts, then stops, then starts... Oil level seemed ok although I checked it during this crazy weather. Will try again in the AM to diagnose.

Prior homeowner has it set up where you can only start it manually if that matters.

Any ideas?

Is it overloading maybe?

Does it show an error code?

Do you have enough gas pressure. Some neighborhoods in Watson had issues with theirs last October when delta or zeta hit. A drop in gas pressure due to all the generators pulling natural gas in your area.

The stepper assembly failing will cause it to stop running as described.
