Yes, it's the thermostats that trigger the zone valves...circulator should run at same time.
You can make some oil heat until the oil tech shows up to fine tune.

Hmm, I will have to check it out. The circulator runs all the time, the zone are all obviously calling for heat. I didn't turn the thermostats down to see if it shutoff.

I have it set up for fuel oil for now. Just want a pro to come to tune it so that it is burning efficiently, etc. Thoughts?

Z10396,

I elected to have a service tech tune my WL110 oil gun adjustments. My son and is family is staying with us, I'm out of the area on vac. for the next three weeks so the switch to oil for the cool mornings with a 3 month old in the house.

I had two techs come out and both struggled to tune the gun up. if they had left the gun at factory settings they would have been an easy time to tweek the adjustments, Matt was there for support to give them advice. I have attached both readings for my WL110 the left was 1st tech set up and the right slip is final for 2nd tech. I did not remove the coal economizers, I'm going back on rice as soon as I return fom vacation next week.

If you could post your results on oil for your WL110......just curious.

I was burning nut coal in a hand fed boiler for many years and I have a nut hand fed TLC2K in the family room for those days when the wife wants that room at the temperature of the sun........the WL110 is doing a reat job for my situation.

Thanks, I will post results when it's set.

So, I fired it up long enough to get my main level soon warmed up. Seemed like it went okay. I did develop two pin hole leaks that I will need to deal with.

So, I am up and running on fuel oil. I knew I was low on fuel and I think I am have ran out. The boiler shutdown but know it's as if there is no power to it. The circulator and taco controller is running which is tied into the same junction box. My fuse in the service switch looks good. Is there some type of reset for when you run out of fuel? I was at work when it shutdown so I am left assume that's what happened. Thoughts?

Yes, makes sense to have a reset.
Look at your Beckett manual for best answers.

I do t have power out to the low water cut off, would that be the case in this event as well?

No, and maybe you're not out of oil, after all.
Maybe you have low water in boiler???

As you said, power at Taco and circulator...so, check LWCO reset and maybe check splices in junction box.???

Wouldn't the light be on for low water on the cutoff?

My LWCO is a different brand, but mine has a green light that indicates OK, and a red light that indicates low water.

I checked the WMO switch reset and blew the fuse in the service switch when it pushed it in.

Tell me about that fuse.

It needs to be a "slo-blow" or "fuse-tron" dual element, time delay type for short time, high motor inrush current.

Without slo-blow...it is hard to start motors without over sizing the amps protection req'd.

A fuse bigger will allow motor to burn up before it blows. $$$ Fuses are way cheaper than motors.

It's a Cooper Bussman time-delay.

what amps?

15 amp...I am up and running again. Had a problem with the ground in the service box. When I had that all apart a terminal end on the fuel selector switch bumped the box causing the fuse to blow. Novice electrician problems. I am all good now and making plenty of heat on oil. Next up will be the switch to coal!
