From cold radiators, boiler gradually heats up until the boiler reaches the set temp. It now goes into a 3 minute cycle ( pump still running) .The burner lights after 3 minutes, the flow temp shoots up past the set temp, the flame regulator kicks in and the temp starts to drop but burner goes off before the set temp is reached. Burner off now for three minutes then the whole cycle repeats until the room stat switches off. All is normal then for the rest of the day. The boiler is then controlled by the room stat. The cycling lasts for about an hour. It's as if the flow temp. Theemister is half asleep.

Go on...give us another clue...make and model.
Bit more effort and we're nearly there.

Are the radiators properly balanced? Feel the temperature drop across each rads pipes...should be the same.

 

[Jay ess]

Yes rads balanced and temp drop across each rad. Boiler did 3 min. cycles for 1 hour this morning due to colder outside temp.
