You will notice this probably has a photoeye on the fire chamber that must "see" light in so many seconds for so many seconds or the unit shuts down. The motor must run, the pump at the back of the motor is an air pump that in conjunction with the nozzle aspirates fuel from the tank and pushes it out the nozzle for the plug to ignite. Motor no run, nothing no run. Most likely you have some crud built up in the pump rotor or pieces of foam filter that are binding the pump and not letting the motor start. The foam filter degrades over time and starts crumbling. Most people take these out and go without, but then the pump loads up with dust from the air and jams anyway. Best to get a new filter foam, take the pump apart (no brainer) clean it out and start over. Don't force the motor to turn by hand before you check the pump. If this is jammed with crud you will likely split the rotor in half and need to buy a new rotor. I've bought several of these salamanders that have had these problems, fixed them and sold them. They are not complicated at all.
