That is a small enough adjustment that should be fine.

Sounds like you are still burning raw fuel off. Leave the settings at factory and let it run for much longer. Let it run for like 30 minutes and see if it clears up.

Trying to figure out if the smoke is from running rich, firebox needs cleaned, or burning off excess oil.
There is 2 pump motors available, 0-3,000' elevation then 3,000' and above.
Is it smoking outside out the stack ?

Does the flame have a bright body with orange tips ?
Is the flame steady or does it spit and sputter ?

Reznor are not the most reliable heater. The 235 was discontinued like 6 years ago. Rumor also has it that Nortek Global the owner of Reznor put an end to waste oil heaters in October.
Adjust the barometric damper so it stays closed.

You do not need a tank heater if you keep the shop temp at 50*+.
Light it off with the torch again and get all the raw fuel burned out. It is going to huff/puff for a bit depending on how many times you pushed the reset.
After all the raw oil is burned off look at the condition of the flame.

I have been doing nothing but waste oil heater sales/service for 30 years. I am here to help but we need to start with the small simple things and work our way up.
For right now put the air band setting to factory spec and leave it.
As long as the spark is not arcing to the nozzle and is blowing past it we are good.
The nozzle is actually 3 pieces the small jet just sits on the stem and can be easily removed. Is there any carbon buildup inside the stem of the nozzle or jet ? If so a burner rebuild needs to be done. When putting the nozzle back together always hold it upright otherwise you will smash the end of the jet.
Does the tank have a drain ? If so, open it to check for water and or antifreeze.
Reznors have a poor preheater assembly. So make sure the actual temp of the oil in the tank is at least 50*.
Lets start with this then we can move on to other things.

What is the type and quality of oil ?
What is the temp of the oil in the tank ?
When you call Reznor you are just getting a person who is reading from the manual that has no real world experience.

Clean Burn has always swedged the tubes also. I have seen stainless crack in other brands but you need to factor in design and shop conditions also. It will be interesting to see what they look like at 10,000 hours. Then how are they going to hold up to higher altitudes with the metered pump ?

They are good guys that use to work for Clean Burn. I am not big on stainless fireboxes because they are poor at conducting heat. I would rather my heat go in the shop and not out the stack.

If you have no problems with ignition leave the preheat block temp at 140* on the t-stat. Higher temps will just bake the oil faster and make o-rings hard.
