Boiler Trouble

    Hey there, I have the oil coming in and bled too. But its not going any further than the Solenoid valve, I took of the oil pump to check for dirt but none and I opened what appears to be the Solenoid valve. (shaped like a spark plug and feeds the line for the burner) The boiler wasnt used for a while and the oil fed in, but the boiler stops and I opened the feed to burner and no oil. Yet its going as far as pump, would it be the oil pump or Solenoid valve?:confused::mad::cool:

    Thanks for any replies!:)

    I bled it at the Oil pump, where the bleed screws are. But from there to the burner, theres no oil flowing. I am thinking its the Valve regulator/Solenoid or pump, I could be wrong?:eek:

    bleed screws
    Mmmm!!!

    Your making us guess here! presuming your talking Riello burner and presuming you mean the grub screw below the pressure adjusting screw and the grub screw marked V at the side of the pump and actually not the pressure adjusting screw itself, then without the help of a pressure gauge i'll make a guess it could well be the solonoid coil, the valve or indeed the pump itself.
    Maybe a little more info and perhaps a picture may help.
