I have swapped out the control box with a new one but it was an older model.
The pump is an 11L3, if memory serves me right. Do they come set up for two pipe now as well?
Definitely enough oil in the tank and yes, it still went to lockout. There's no blockage at the fire valve either so unless there's any other suggestions I'm going to look at the heating pump, although I don't see how a faulty heating pump would stop the burner working on the hot water side.I know this might sound daft but is there enough oil in the tank, and if you use a vacuum gauge on the pump it will let you know if you have a blockage, i has seen remote fire valves block with sludge and also they can fail and stick in the closed position.
The burner is a sterling 50 as per the MI. I've set it up as per the MI as wellHeating pump failure would affect the high limit on the stat. Are the electrodes correct and aren't cracked, also check the transformer. If the burner locks out after 9 sec the control box is not satisfied a good flame is established. Usally the electrodes should buzz for 12 secs or longer to ensure good ignition and to satisfy the photocell the flame is established. What type of burner is on it.
I agree with your assessment that it's at the burner but as it's clearly causing me a problem I'm open to all suggestions as food for thought while I'm lying on my sunbed by the poolBurner going to lockout means fault is at burner only, or oil problem.
Just check if flame is established and is reasonable before burner locks out.
I don't want to go into more detail on open forum about how I test burners
