unless you know how to set up the boiler properley NO.putting a new pump on without setting various things can cause havoc. hence today spending about 2 hours cleaning a 1 year old boiler due to pump being replaced, and not set up, 2weeks of overheat and a shed load of soot.
you could try setting the pump press to spec
you could try changing the nozzle
you could try doing a smoke test
you could try doing a combustion analysis
and that comes via a spanner monkey
who also does gas
and dabbles in oil
with some guidance

if your boilers smoking id also go down the route of protecting all surroundings as the black stuff is a stain that maks wine look clean.also turn the boiler off asap and get it looked at professionally.iv seen a boiler soot up to the the point the baffles had near melted.
I've turned it off, but boy is it difficult to get hold of an engineer to ring you back. Thats why i've tried to do it myself
