Good afternoon
I have set up a Riello burner, on a simple rig in my shed,which I got out of an old Camray oil boiler.Initially(after energising) all I got was the Motor/Fan purging and no ignition(nothing from the solenoid).I changed over the Photocell with another secondhand photocell and now the burner purges , ignites and runs(by putting my thumb over photocell initially and then removing after ignition).To check the safety/efficacy of this secondhand photocell I then put my thumb over the photocell to force it into lockout....which it did.However the Motor/fan kept going after Lockout? Is this just post Lock out purging or something more sinister.I didn't like to let it run too long just in case it damaged the pump. Hope this all makes sense.Constructive replies would be much appreciated.Thank you in advance .
