Riello burner not firing (camray 5 oil fired boiler)

[oink]

I have removed photocell connection to control box. I get a click but no woomph! (does not fire) then locks out.

Any ideas?

What do you mean ? If you have removed the photocell it won't fire?

 

[oink]

I read in a previous thread that if you remove the photocell from control box it should fire up and then lock out. Is this incorrect?

What made you remove photocell?

 

[oink]

No clicks and boiler not firing...

 

[oink]

..and no lockout..

Has the burner lead come loose or fell out?

 

[oink]

Nope.

 

[ecowarm]

Does the burner make any noise?

How long does it run before the control box goes into lockout, when was it las serviced?
