Alright folks,
Was called out to a oil boiler there that i serviced 6 mths ago. Customer had run out of oil and pushed the magic red button too many times. Boiler wasn't starting at times etc. So i checked the capacitor and it was fine. Made sure line was bled propoerly etc etc. basically a knackered pump. When i took it out it was full of rust etc.
Anyway i took my new Riello pump out of the box and and screwed it all back together. Put on my pump pressure gauge to check factory setting and teh pump was reading zero and the boiler wasn't firing. Tried to adjust teh pump pressure but no joy.
I pulled the burner unit out and ran it again and looked at teh nozzle. Basically the oil was shooting straight out of it instead of coming out as a spray. When i serviced it i changed teh nozzle as per teh spec and it worked fine for 6 months.
What teh hell is happening here please? Have i got a faulty pump or am i missing something??
