Default Viking oil burning heater issues

Bought a cabin recently and it came with a Viking Oil Burner. It isn't working correctly with very low heatoutput and needs a tuneup or repair
Anyone have any idea what company or person could help me out with this or any ideas on what to check? Not familiar with Oil Heaters at all.

clean out fuel lines to the burner from the tank - old stove oil forms a gel deposit that can choke off fuel flow.

Clean the lines and carburetor the floats get sticky when they sit
