Some possibilities are a cracked electrode, weak or dead transformer or improper gapping of the electrode tips. Your choices are replace the transformer first so you know you have adequate high voltage to the electrodes. If still no spark, replace the electrodes. For that task you'll need the oil burner manual that will tell you the correct placement of the electrode tips relative to the nozzle. It might be best to have a service tech come. He may be able to save you a transformer replacement by testing the old one. At least he'll know how to set the electrodes if they need replacing.
