The 1 inside the air box under the 'snorkel'. If ye don't set that right, the outer air adjustment won't be able to greater change the CO2 levels. Maybe it was overlooked. Just thought I'd mention it incase it was missed
 
Been Back out to it today to reset it. I whipped the baffles out again just to make sure they were not sooted up again. put FGA in it was running on 8.5% so set it all back running brilliantly now so was just the excess soot being burnt off causing the problem.
 
I remember a mate of mine played a practical joke on his apprentice whereby he got the apprentice to go through the boiler servicing but tipped a bit of oil inside the combustion chamber when the apprentice went to the loo, and predictably enough the apprentice was unable to set up the boiler combustion for 20 minutes until the oil burnt off, with my mate saying "you must have done something wrong", then going off to snigger to himself.

On another occasion the guy was fitting a WC and the other lads on site kept tipping a little water behind the pan and telling him that the WC was leaking and he would need to take it off and refit it. This went on about 4 times before he realised someone was taking the P.
