Remember the old policy Steve, if you fix the problem, it's charged at your regular rate. If the customer helps, it's double your regular rate! Great video Steve!
It was probably the nozzle or that head being loose. Your right about the nozzles. You do get a bad one or temperamental one. Specially with a burner running kerosene. Never cared much for Carlin or Riello burners. They try to be so different. You can go anywhere and get Beckett parts.
Where did you find Entermanns cookie dough, I grew up down the block from Bay Shore, NY bakery/factory ❤, thank you for taking us along God Bless and Stay Safe 🙏👍🇺🇸
Love your videos Steve. Very informative. No one wants to train you properly when your on a job. Most guys just want to get in and out as quickly as possible and training takes time and patience which makes your channel, and a few other guys, an excellent resource where a guy can take it all in at their own speed.
I thought it was the nozzle to begin with. Bad nozzle or it was too big. Can’t trust it when the customer states he changed something. That’s the first thing I’d redo.
On some older concentric vent terminals, there are joints inside that are sealed with silicone. If the silicone deteriorates over time, you can have flue gasses mixed in the combustion air. Some terminals had resistance right at the exit to create back pressure to force the exhaust away from the house which will force the exhaust into the intake through the leak. This causes the flame to become unstable just like what happened to you when you added air. It will run ok for a minute or so until the exhaust gets to the leak and down the intake. I had this happen on a 90's era Trianco. Had to replace the vent terminal with a Field which I don't think they make anymore. Most DV units that I see now come with Z-Flex DVO terminal. If you get called back, look for soot/smoke in the air intake or blower wheel and let it run with the vrv closed and see if it becomes unstable after a minute or two. You can't just route clean air from somewhere else because the combustion air coming in is what gives the terminal zero clearance to combustibles.
Nozzle are one of the most common problems and extremely sensitive, if it was handled by someone that does not know that it definitely could have become compromised.
Welcome to my world of troubleshooting. I'm always called when others can't figure it out. But they don't tell me that so each time I run into the crazy s**t then later hear that nobody else could figure it out. Never assume even a new part is good. Especially not these days when the part prices are astronomical and the quality is crap. I work on very different gear but the same troubleshooting principles apply.
Iif that front door is not sealing properly you will have that problem with buderus make sure you tighten hinge side first .the baffles could have not letting it close all the way
Last year I see you were using hoseless or Wireless gauges in the summertime I know it's a little early but I'm just curious what you used and how you like them
Awesome video Steve! Like the long ones! Thought you were stumped 0n this one. What is the name of that test tool you use to see if the delayed oil valve was functioning properly?
Guess it could’ve been a defective new nozzle, but did anyone check the oil quality when it started dying out? Maybe he got some bad fuel with crap floating around in it and you finally purged it out by the end.
Mostly the customer doesn't tell half the story, he could have opened up the nozzle to clean or inspect and compromised it. I would start with a clean setup new nozzle, electrodes and difusor 😎. By the way there is liquid you can spray inside the furnace it will clean the sooth in no time 💥💥
I guarantee after you left the gasket and the extra screws were put back on along with the baffles put back in. If the homeowner wasn’t there you would have been out of there in 30 minutes with just an annual service.
Had repaired an oil burner.. left the place and within an hour, the burner had failed. A mouse had gone in the burner air inlet and seized the burner fan. The woman claimed I had not done my job properly. Her frigging house in the country.!!
You have a draft issue which is very common for Carlin,did used oil heaters for a long time. Blackgold, Cleanburn and Energylogic .Carlin has a very sophisticated draft system for their catalytic clean exhaust. You need to put a proper venting system because your riser is an issue.
Its the OIL its bio -slime its NOT the same he already changed the nozzle and it still did it been to a bunch of calls like this it's not the once-over its the 10 times over
Then this guy is gonna want an additional discount already on top of your discount price because he thinks he helped you, thanks for the help, but I’m here you’re paying me just let me do it

Id rather have the customer help me it creates a teaching moment

Hey Steve one of your best videos been following your for a awhile. Nice to see a more challenging fix from you ..
Great training clinic. One of your best videos Steve.
Steve to the rescue!
@@WeatherNut27Once again
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again ya’ll. 👍👍. it never hurts to know a little about the equipment in your home.
So who here has met Steve in person? He is practically a celebrity.

Whoa! What a challenging one! Never seen that happen. Nice to have a little help.
Nozzle are one of the most common problems and extremely sensitive, if it was handled by someone that does not know that it definitely could have become compromised.
She was choochin' mama!!
So was it the coupling or the nozzle in the end. Hard to tell . The customer replaced the nozzle earlier and the problem remained.
I think this guy set Steve up he really like him 😮
I know I wouldn't be happy till the baffles were back in and running smooth.
Steve : " These nozzles are mass produced you know ". 😅😅
I'll have to remember that one !
Buderus with a Carlin. Usually a reillo comes with it. They don't like high daft

Perfect 👌
A teaching moment for sure.
I have the same burner and I had to pull out 4 baffles in the chamber
Iif that front door is not sealing properly you will have that problem with buderus make sure you tighten hinge side first .the baffles could have not letting it close all the way
you are very smart Steve!!
Good video, Steve. Ended up being right back to basics even though I thought it may have been the transformer. Also a Joe Homeowner 😂
Last year I see you were using hoseless or Wireless gauges in the summertime I know it's a little early but I'm just curious what you used and how you like them
Steven, that boiler is like a bad relationship. Everything is going good and all of the sudden bamm. lol
True...a woman will just suddenly pull the plug on ya!
i also have had a bad new nozzle.
Awesome video Steve! Like the long ones! Thought you were stumped 0n this one. What is the name of that test tool you use to see if the delayed oil valve was functioning properly?
First time I am seeing that inline pump pressure device.
Did they use a chimney liner
Good job Steve.
Guess it could’ve been a defective new nozzle, but did anyone check the oil quality when it started dying out? Maybe he got some bad fuel with crap floating around in it and you finally purged it out by the end.
Hello Steve!
I've installed a couple gas furnaces on my own, but these oil burning boilers, not a clue.
Mostly the customer doesn't tell half the story, he could have opened up the nozzle to clean or inspect and compromised it. I would start with a clean setup new nozzle, electrodes and difusor 😎. By the way there is liquid you can spray inside the furnace it will clean the sooth in no time 💥💥
Nice that you work with homeowner , why is there a smaller pipe in the exhaust , like a choke ! & not a fan of “ flex pipes!
Tuff one but you got the blue beast from the northeast running again!!!!!
This one reminds me of Johnnie Carson and Ed Mc Mahon.
I guarantee after you left the gasket and the extra screws were put back on along with the baffles put back in.
If the homeowner wasn’t there you would have been out of there in 30 minutes with just an annual service.
Should've told him to pipe the exhaust like the supply air. Holy shit momma!
He might have Birds or Bats in the Belfry.
I woulda changed the nozzle first.
Howdy Steve and Molly
Was this your longest video ever???
Hello family
It says that this video was 4 days ago. I think I have already watched it.
I think change the nozzle.
Joe Homeowner! Ain't no Taj Majal !

Sir Steve can I join😊😊😊 HVAC life
It was running good.with the guage on it maybe the smallnline is fucky
She’s an enigma, Momma!! Brain teaser of your career.
She's a crusty one and a fighter Mr Grinch. LoL LoL 😊
Flippin' helicopter type...
True, but if you’re going have a 🚁, that’s the kind to have!
surprised you never told him to "Do One" Steve!!

steven miss molly is cute how old is she
Its the OIL its bio -slime its NOT the same he already changed the nozzle and it still did it been to a bunch of calls like this it's not the once-over its the 10 times over
set that pressure to 160 with .75 60 w nozzle delavan air to .75 .....GET THE COMBUSTION ANALYZER OUT
buderus direct vent very finicky
g115ws4 / carlin spec
Actually that's me I can watch a UA-cam video and get the problem resolved
More cooking videos, pplleeaassee!!!
maybe it is quality chinesium nozzles nowadays every part is suspect.
hey Steve you didn't have youtube you had to learn the hard way.
joe homeowne "NOT "
Nothing worse than a defective new part w/anything.
You end up checking everything else.
Body bumps for Mr Nozzle Mrs Molly body bumps for mr nozzle
Then this guy is gonna want an additional discount already on top of your discount price because he thinks he helped you, thanks for the help, but I’m here you’re paying me just let me do it
he gave me a 20 dollar tip .. over the price i charged him
@@stevenlavimonierethat says it all to me. Respect! Nicely done as usual.
That customer was a Super Helicopter type.
No offense of people doing it themselves, but if you hire a pro let the pro work.
No worries if you check in on the pro, but no helicopter customer
god i hated this customer with a passion
Why would you try and save a few bucks fu*king around when you have the best boiler guy in the Northeast available to you.
He changed too much stuff for Steve to be able to trouble shoot.
