Quite possibly but just to clarify: Where are the two different parts located on the burner?Transformer. Solenoid is the coil. Just a mix up of terms methinks

You probably did a similar OFTEC to me. I also learned nothing. :smile:
There were guys who were not plumbers & also had no idea about oil boilers doing the OFTEC. I was the only one there who knew anything about oil boilers. We all passed it. I feel sorry for the customers that got these "qualified oil technicians".

It's a bit like the 'Gas Engineers' course that I've done. Taxi drivers, office workers, salesmen, you name them and they were there. most didn't even know how to use a bender or solder a fitting.
BTW - I didn't learn anything on the OFTEC either, they just checked that I knew how to do it all safely. I used to do both back in the day but I had a really big gap when I was a school teacher and things change a lot in 20 years

Get yourself on to some manufactures course's, they are much better than oftec, some do free course.
HRM do a thing where you just spend a day with one of their engineers on his rounds, they use sterling burners which are on a lot of older boilers, and their blokes are ace, fire loads of questions at them.
But there are other ones that do similar things.
Worcester one is pretty good.

Do e two of the Worcester courses but as I don't get that many calls the knowledge doesn't stick too well
thd gid news is that he burner now works, it was the motor in the end but the customer was more than happy.
