powermatic the coil on the burner is plugged

if you'er talking about the water coil in the fire box, plugged with "what"??

Pull the QD off the front so the line is wide open .
Turn 3 way valve to high pressure setting...engage the pump
see if that doesn't blast crud out

if not, pull the front panel, disconnect line at firebox
Engage pump

if still no juice/crud squirts out, follow Lee's suggestion......dynamite


NOTE...the above is predicated on, you're sure your pump is primed, clutch did indeed engage and PSI gauge shows pressurization ...first

Run water thru backwards. I had one sit for a year. It was iron not copper.
