Low Oil level in Rayburn BM valve?

[coldstove]

Many thanks for your advice and help.

Hi there, I'm having the same problem as you and have no access to an engineer. Do you mind telling me what the problem was and how you solved it? Thanks much!

Which OC Valve do you have, is it a BM?
If it's a BM valve they are fairly 'idiot proof' and usually work quietly for many years with minimal maintenance.
1st thing is to check the level inside the valve body, if this is below the level marker check the tank filter...top of the list for slow filling or zero filling (especially if it has been contaminated with dirty oil or oil /water)
If the oil is to level in the valve body, next on the list is the 'coke tube' and the reservoir in the burner base, these do clog up with carbon badly which can stem or halt the oil feed completely.
DO NOT attempt ANY checking with the unit alight......Turn it off first and let it cool down.....takes about 2-3 hours.
Having said that you do need to be fairly competent/confident to de able to reassemble the burner properly you do not want any leaks.

If you are not confident enough get an engineer out.
