Hi again I think things may be settling down but cannot give you latest analyser settings until engineer revisits. I monitored the system from a cold house this morning at 7.20am with the outside temp 1c and inside 15c. The boiler fired for 15mins continuously and then shut off for...

Thanks again Well the baffles are in first class condition and checked level with no distortion. They are assembled as you suggest and what the manual advises. There are questions now as to whether the boiler is absorbing the heat!!! So here are the running figures. From a cold house(...

Thanks for your continued interest in the saga. The boiler is a Benson Jetstream series 3(Conventional Flue)- 69,000btu(50/70),with believe it or not quotes a rated oil pressure on kerosene of 150 psi with a Danfoss 0.65 80ES jet(although the spec called for Delevan 0.65 80W). The pressure is...

Sorry I should have said cannot increase air any more otherwise the stack temp will be even higher and decreasing leads to sooting. hood

Hi. New capacitor fitted and burner fired ok. We now experimenting with the settings since cannot get the high stack temp down. Danfoss 0.60 85ES/ 110psi on kerosene/air slide 1.9/smoke 0-1/11.5Co2./ stack 255C. Cannot reduce air any more due to danger of soot and even higher outlet temp.Also...

Thanks John. No the boiler is not firing . The motor is humming due to being uable to turn the pump .The pump turns by hand and the motor turns the fan impellor when disconnected from pump but not together. Capicitor? Engineer on way and will update. The pump was replaced 4 years ago but...

my burner keeps locking out . Have uncoupled the pump which turns by hand with some resistance. The motor is turning the fan impellor ok and runs through 12 sec time out and igniter spark ok. When coupled to motor the system is humming until time out then shuts down. There appears to...
