I got up this morning and turned the heating on and the boiler did not ignite.
I checked to make sure that the photocell was working and that the boiler was sparking OK and it was.
I bled the pump to make sure there was a steady oil flow and there was.
The only thing that i can think of is that either the jet is blocked or else the the pump is not working or else the solenoid is broken that allows the oil to exit the pump.
Can any one tell me if I am barking up the wrong tree and point me in the right direction to diagnose any of these problems.
ie is there an easy way to find out if the pump or the solenoid is faulty or not? ( ie is there an easier way than disconnecting the jet and turning on the heating to see if oil is pumping out of the pump which i am sure there is)
Any help would be appreciated.
