oil condensing heat only boiler not firing up!!!!

[lame plumber]

As the man said, check oil supply then the pump, have you tried turning it up bit?

 

[Inverness]

no because i serviced it last year and everything was fine. so i didn't see why i would need to adjust it again.

 

[Inverness]

I'm back tomorrow so ill try it then.

 

[Inverness]

oil supply is fine there is enough oil in the tank.

Not solenoid. Pump or oil.

 

[Geyser]

Check the pump coupling.

 

[Inverness]

are you saying it could be the pump or the oil?

 

[SimonG]

Just because there is oil there, it doesn't mean there's enough to run it. I would bleed it for a bit to make sure of the fuel supply. It's easy and you don't have to pull anything to bits. Then pump off to make sure that the dog coupling is intact and that the motor is running at full speed. Then lid off the pump to check pump filter. Then change pump.

Thank you very much guys for you advise. I'll see how I get on tomorrow.

 

[SimonG]

You really need to get in the plumbers arms. Too much info for general public.

 

[Inverness]

How can I do that?

 

[SimonG]

100 posts, which you have, and a private message to one of the mods.
