The screw you have blindly turned is THE OIL PRESSURE Adjustment!!!
DO NOT USE TYE BOILER UNTILL IT HAS BEEN RECOMMISSIONED by an experienced Oil Engineer, failure to do so could result in soot, damaged baffle plates and a whole lot of expense and hassle
You will all be pleased to know I have a Oftec engineer coming round today, I really apprecited all your help and comments and even the ones quite rightly calling me a novice.
I will update after the visit, once again many thanks.
The engineer was here for at least two hours, lots of air blockage and problems with oil getting through as I am sure you all know this would have been beyond my limited abilities.
its so funny reading this if your not an oftec engineer then dont play with it. sounds very easy to fix but should you adjust the oil pressure screw on the pump then its game over call an engineer, ive seen a flue collapse under extreme heat due to a customer trying to bleed his oil line also been and cleaned many of sooty oil boilers due to ppl also doing this
I thought this would be the best thread to put this up on given it deals with the effects of a lock-out. I was out and came home to notice I had run out of fuel and the boiler had locked out. I got some more and clicked the reset button and away it went and didn't lock out, but I noticed that it didn't fire up and it didn't lock out. I checked for fuel and there is fuel in the flexi going into the pump.
I called customer support at Worcester but the guy was stumped because if it wasn't right it would lock out which it isn't.
