Good addditions, Limy. To be professionally done, I used to check everything.
Flue draft, over fire draft, CO2, pump pressure, stack breech temp., smoke sampling. Complex and time consuming. Oh yeah, stinky and filthy, too.
Well, That was easy
Replaced the 1.25 nozzle with the 1.10 nozzle. Vacuumed out the flame box and iron work.
Maladjusted ;-) the air controls and set the t-stat on the radiant slab so it's calling for heat.
The sound of the burner "might" be a bit less, The kick-in is certainly a bit less explosive.
I downloaded the Beckett product information. Pretty simple devices all in all.
What are symptoms of "too much air"? High flue temps and heat up the chimney?
If I recall, 435F at the outlet of the boiler was the target. Seems high....
The heat shield that sits just in front of the nozzle was quite clean with only slight signs of fuel dribble build up. Everything back of the nozzle had a fur coat made of lint and dust however. Shop Vac to the rescue.
