Was the oil pump pressure ok?

 

[Twinhawk]

dont have gauge...set toolbox ontop of it...this morning ffs, took of nut and let run , drastic increase in oil coming out of pump

 

[Bartdude]

Which nut did you take off,the one that the gauge would go in? If there was plenty of oil there I would be checking the solenoid coil.

 

[Twinhawk]

will do, thanks keep you updated

clean the photo cell....change the atomiser [nozzle)
take off oil filter on burner ..4 alankey nuts ... clean this filter ..process of elimination...

 

[Twinhawk]

Job done turns out faulty oil pump cheers lads

 

[buffy27]

how didi u find out it was the pump ///what was the end result ..new pump ..new burner ???

 

[Twinhawk]

I ended up with a new solendoid and nozzle and then that didnt work i just got the pump....think it was really a combination after an oil fill, becaue i started getting a drip at the nozzle with the new one and solenoid.

You'll need to set pump pressure if you have changed pump and nozzle

You'll need to set pump pressure if you have changed pump and nozzle

And a fga test or at the least a smoke pump test.

If the problem occurred after an oil fill then it would be a good idea to check filters too.

At least you've got a spare solenoid now
