    what riello burner do you have rdb or 3gb

    what fuel do you use

    was burner set up with flugas analyser after service if oftec guy did the service i should think so

    Sounds like fuel starvation, but as you have just had it serviced i would recommend you contact the Oftec Engineer who carried out the work.

    Wouldn't put cycling like that down to fuel starvation, but the service guy left it with flue gas either leaking from the mounting flange or combustion chamber door, and is polluting the air intake.

    TBH whenever I have seen starvation, always resulted in lockout, rather than cycling (unless starvation was due to something like a partially blocked pipe/valve) but as for low fuel, normally just results in an airlock. (everyday's a learning day)

    Well done Billy
