This video tutorial covers the process of setting the correct electrode clearance on a Riello oil fired burner. Setting the gap on the electrodes will assure that heating fuel oil is being ignited properly. The process of setting the points on this Riello oil fired burner will be the same or similar on many other oil fired burners. The process covered in this video will be the same on most residential oil-fired burners. This is the fourth video in a playlist that covers basic maintenance on a Riello oil fired burner and a Biasi boiler.

I broke my neck trying to buy same ruler on internet. Where did you get it?
As a DIY I am careful when I touch items such as this . On my Riello , I found 2 different nozzles were used by past service companies . I called Riello and was told BOTH were undersized , based on boiler GPH . I put in what Riello recommended . I have also seen " pros " on video adjust the electrodes " by eye " and use odd size wrenches , and even pliers , on the oil line and bleeder . Which is unbelievable that they don't have the metric sizes if doing this daily . Or even a small adjustable wrench . Great video . Always be aware WHO you are watching and WHERE the information comes from . It may " work or be fine " , but what are these manuals and specifications for ?
hello friends, how are you there, I'm Ratman from Indonesia, one of the repairmen for all Burner brands, one of which is the Weishoupt, Riello FBR, Baltur, Ecomark etc.
Great video. I just bought new electrodes and transformer
You can also use a 3/16 Allen wrench put it thru slot on ceramics to retention head to center and set gap
I found it helpful
Hi thanks for the video. I’m getting oil into the electrical I believe the oil is coming down the electrodes into the electronics. Do have any idea what my problem is?
There are notches in the electrodes, do they have to be lined up with springs
Thank you for this video. One thing I did not see mentioned is the distance from the top of the electrodes to the top of the nozzle . I see a 4mm gap between the electrodes and a 5mm distance to the center of the nozzle. What is the height over the nozzle?
What's the correct name for the measuring tool you're using?
Great video! I think this is what I need to correct on my Riello 5.
Its recently been taking 4 to 7 starts before running.
I've checked the photocell and its fully functional. Fuel is present, as there is a fog
of atomized fuel in the burn chamber.
What would be the most likely culprit for causing the elongated no-ignition?
Adjustment of the electrodes?
Hello. Did you ever figure out the cause/resolution? I am also getting a delayed ignition with 4-7 tries before ignition occurs.
@@easy_two I managed to get it down to one misfire per ignition. I suspect it is to do with the photo cell feedback loop in the power module. I had touched up all solder connections on the module circuit board. Polished the connections of the photocell.
I suspect the photocell is the culprit.
@@easy_two let me know how you fair out. I'd like to zero out the misfire.
Cleaning and adjusting the electrodes resolved this for me. There was significant black soot buildup on the ends which I scraped off with a flathead screwdriver.
Are the points important..was have hit and miss lighting...readjusted the electrodes. But noticed points are gone
Hi there. I was in a lot of trouble. Burner got up and worked for 30 seconds. It turned off. I changed the nozzle
My Riello 3M has been mis firing when initailly calling for heat, it trys to fire 4 or 5 times before it stays lit, it does however always lights and runs fine. Any suggestions when I should look for?
Hello. Same story here. Did you ever find the cause/resolution for this issue? Thank you in advance.
If the ceramic part in electrodes where broken could this be a problem for burner to start?
Thank for fast response. If the ceramic become brittle and small part had broken off while servicing it could this be a problem for the burner to start? As I'm having problems on the riello g5x model it's firing up ok then it's going off but fan still running but it doesn't go to lock out keeps trying to start up gets to 8 bar oil pressure then goes out??
I've done that plus the electrodes are sparking but won't know until I get a new photo cell tomorrow to see if it this.
👍
tthe most important 5mm measurment you didnt show enough ??? air intake please show starting point how to read the smpke and final adjustment.
less waffle = better watch time percentage
Old furnace guy showed how to use a nickel as a Guage...Is this close ?
My fkin nozzle is stuck on the igniter. No matter what i do i cant ge the nozzle off. Tried a blowtorch to loosen it. Nothin.
Am having a burner witch is cutting after 17 sec
Those electrodes are shot there is a Beckett tool to set the tips the same tool does it for the air diverter redo the video
Hindi me Dena sir
