Worcester camray utility 25/32 system - oil.....

[Aqua Tech]

Broken shear pin in the oil pump?

oil getting through fine.

I'm not suggesting you didn't check it! Honest!!! Just wondered whether it was set for the correct nozzle and/or if it was holding it's pressure constantly. The way you answered the fga question (which I admit was a bit of a trick question) told me you knew what you are/were doing. I was thinking of what I'd be looking at.

Kimbo has some valid points though. I had a boiler with these problems but the customer decided to condemn it before I spent more time looking for other solutions. (I had been looking at the flue and air settings and when I changed the oil pump it helped, but didn't cure the problems.)

(And I'm not trying to pretend that I know much about oil boilers either. The trouble is, on the whole, the burners are so reliable.)

HaHa, tricky...

this is there third boiler in ten years. Other guys just chuck a new boiler in and run without even cleaning the system. We flushed it and it was really bad, never seen one as bad.

will try the air flows and see where this takes me.

The one I changed was around 15 years old and the baffles I'd replaced the previous year buckled.
