I thought that was the oftec practical training blokes?

Got to hand it to them though, they did diagnose the bearings are noisy.
 
Wouldn't be the first boiler I have taken the burner out & carefully attempted to fire it to check ignition ect.
But I only do it if there is no petrol or anything that could go up in flames nearby. Not oftec or health & safety I know, but I am careful & I don't act the idiot & put it on youtube!
 
There was a youtube vid some time ago where someone was using an oil burner to flame grill some burgers.
