Ok, think I got it fixed. the following is a list of what I did but not sure which one item solved the problem because I did it all today in one outage. 1. Removed in line oil filter assembly and cleaned and replaced filter. This was long overdue since it was the original filter and the...

Thanks, but just found it.

Ok, found the manual online. Here is the link for those trying to help me. http://riello-burners.com/5_riello-vip/_members-vip/2_manuals/residential/40_F3-F5-rev3.pdf Now I just need to find what model boiler I have. For some reason it is not on the boiler info plate attached to the...

Not sure what viscosity the oil is but I would guess its the 35 sec stuff because I have heard that some people run it in there diesel equipped vehicles which is illegal here. As for the model of the riello 40, I will try to get my wife to have a look. The oil burner has no problem keeping...

First of all, thanks for the safety advice above, having the burner fire with it sitting out on the floor would not be a good thing. Fortunately I work in an industry where safety is job one and we use a "lock out" system to electrically isolate equipment before going to work on it and this...

OK, cleaning first, got it. As for the dust levels, I would say its fairly dusty in there because I also have a wood boiler in there as well. Its connected both electrically and mechanically to the oil burner. Both are New Yorker units. Sorry for all the questions but where are the blast...

Thanks, I will try some of your suggestions. What flue gas components are you looking for when setting up the burner. Just wondering if I borrowed a personal gas monitor from work could I possible set up the burner with it. The gas monitor we use does measure CO2, O2, & LEL levels.

Now that you mention it, I have smelled oil some times when I walk into the room, but it is a faint odor.

I dont have access to that type of equipment and form the burner mechanics I have seen around my area they wouldn't even know what I was asking for. So with that in mind is there any other way to check and see if the burner is even close to the correct air/fuel ration.

That is what I suspected as well, I have cleaned the photo cell but it did nothing. I should have mentioned earlier that this problem use to have before and the photo cell cleaning would do the trick but it would start happening again in a few months. How about a dirty nozzle, could that cause a...

Hello forum, this is my first post to this very bust forum. I have an issue with my reillo burner. It seems that for some reason the burner lately has been making several attempts to light but cant seem to stay going. After maybe 3 or 4 attempts it will stay going but then may even loose fire...
