Glade to hear it's running. We all had to learn. Every system is a little differrent. The more you burn the more you learn.

ok So a little recap I change to a siphon system.... Got it to run and burn for 1 day .... started having problems with not enough fuel being delievered to the combustion chamber so i changed my constant lvl a inch from center line work and acted up again ok ok so at this point I go help from doug and no Luck so i started to tear it down and come to find out this whole time  it was a clogged nozzle ... well I cleaned it out and my CK Burner Block and all my Lines.. no its working great HAHA i got a back up nozzle on order just in case this one acts up again im just gonna replace it

SO i update you guys im on Settings  it might help someone else right now im running at 5 Psi Air pressure and 2 " C/L

Thanks Doug again for the help

Hmm, clogged nozzle?  Was it a used nozzle?  Didnt you get a new one with the CK setup?

Good to hear you got it figured out.  Is it making some good heat now?

[Mschindler300]

its a New Nozzle from CK ... and i filter my Oil to 5 Microns.... Maybe it was a fluk and yes Finally im making heat

I order a back up Nozzle if it plugs again Im gonna just replace it I think it was in part I ran my temp Hi to first time I ran it like 230ish .. im running at 170 now

OK now to Im roughing in the Automation Side of it before i continue Much further to make sure I dont need to install any thing else that could Interfare with my controllers (I like to get everything Layed out before I start tighting things up)  so controlling the Whole Heating and DHW Heating  also controls my Cooling  for each Zone (Up to 64 Zones) im using Honeywell AQ 2000 with 4 zone Expansion Controller Add on for a total of 8 Zones 



each room Or Zone has its own Thermastat that communicats with the controller then communicates with the Boiler or A/C

I got a good deal on this 64 bucks Brand New ... Thank you Ebay and the Seller that didnt No what it was  Retails 700 Bucks with what I got
