Hi Guys. Had my burner go out on my wet-base boiler when it was zero F last week.
Woke up to 45 degF house last Friday. The burner fan/pump motor overcurrent reset had popped. I reset but it screeched to a halt in about 10 seconds.
Called Burner repair, They came in the afternoon. They didn't diagnose much, just replaced the burner motor (runs fan and pump) and pump coupling. I thought the Pump was seized due to poor oil intake. They said it was fine.
Now the unit makes a fast clattery sound when the burner is on and a distinct clop, clop, clop when slowing after power off at end of burn cycle.
I was going to dig into this the weekend.
I have some Ideas. Anybody do burner service here?
I have been doing my own "tune ups" for decades. But IIRC ive only had the motor and pump off once.
This is an old Carlin 99FRD burner running 0.85 GPH. I hear most folks have Beckett.
Thanks.
