Any Riello burner experts here

[mark123]

My E180 woodgun has a Riello oil burner built into it. We use oil to heat domestic water in summer, recently the burner will fire for about 5 minutes then flame goes out, if I push reset it will fire again and burn for another 5 minutes or so and I have to keep doing this to get water up to temp (170). I put new oil filter and nozzle in a couple of months ago. Anything else I should check or change? Thanks

I contacted this guy with questions about changing nozzle size on a Beckett burner a few years back...ended up on the phone with him...he knows his stuff! The parts were primo and the price was right too.

I have a Riello burner i was thinking of using on my oil boiler
Are they more efficient?That's what i have heard about them.

May need a tune up. Maybe an air adjustment? Was also thinking photo eye but that should shut it off sooner than 5 minutes running. Assuming your oil pressure is good? Have a gauge on it?

Unless it's just barely borderline?

A gauge is a great diagnostic tool here!
Do these have in internal filter too? Becketts do...
EDIT: Looks like they do...the screen/filters leaning on the blue boxes in the picture of the ebay link...
