I'm a qualified gas engineer and have recently completed an oil course. I have very limited knowledge of oil fired boilers and the oftec course does not give you the experience really.
I have a customer that has a prob with a Statesman 45/50 boiler. About a month ago I serviced the boiler and fitted a new nozzle and set the oil pressure accordingly as well as adjusting the CO etc.
They have phoned me today and have said that the boiler fires up, gets a flame for a few seconds then goes out, it does this a few times and then lights and stays alight. It seems to do it more when cold and when it is doing this they can smell oil.
I have down loaded a manual but it is for a 45/50 L and not a 45/50 and the whole burner assembly is different. Any way my question is why is it doing this, what do I need to be looking at? Photocell, ignition probes?
Many thanks
Andy.
