riello 40 lockout

[richie1974]

HI , i am looking for advice on a reillo 40 burner thats locking out,
when i turn it on the pump runs , vent opens , oil pump and solenoid( new ) work , it locks out sometimes fairly instantly other times after maybe 10 secs.

There is plenty of oil , a new pump and soleniod , new photocell and I dont think the burners is too old.
There is some oil at the end of the nozzle so i assume the oil is getting through its just not igniting.

So i am left thinking its one of the following electrodes, control box , oil pressure?

Any suggestions would be great.

Many Thanks

Welcome to the forums!!

Not much left to try here ...!

I'm wondering about the capacitor.

havent tried it yet , wil have a look if i have a spare one , would be nice if it was that simple.

also i am not sure if i should hear a clicking noise of the electrodes trying to spark , i dont hear this if i should

hi steve ,

Any suggestions ?

Have you had it serviced ??

Have the pressures checked. Filters checked. And FGA with smoke

Prob due for regular service parts

First of all you haven't told us what happens does the motor turn etc. Trial and error can be expensive, be methodical.first of all check you have fuel to the pump,check pump pressure, if there is no pressure the fault may be due to the drive dog or the pump or fuel not getting through,only then would you check further. If you pull the burner out slightly you can see if there is a spark or not if there isn't check the white wire from the motor for 50volts if you haven't got 50volts the motor is shot,if there is voltage it will be the control box.
