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.

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 ?

[@jcstevegigs]

Great video. I just bought new electrodes and transformer

[@waynedagostino541]

You can also use a 3/16 Allen wrench put it thru slot on ceramics to retention head to center and set gap

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?

[@anthonyconcialdi3659]

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?

[@berniemcneal1353]

There are notches in the electrodes, do they have to be lined up with springs

[@SocaRehab]

What's the correct name for the measuring tool you're using?

[@milosavitch1]

less waffle = better watch time percentage

[@superargo4701]

Great video! I think this is what I need to correct on my Riello 5.

[@robe5000]

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?

[@sintayehuaddisu7969]

Hi there. I was in a lot of trouble. Burner got up and worked for 30 seconds. It turned off. I changed the nozzle

[@ajafferji91297]

👍

[@tablespoon888]

Are the points important..was have hit and miss lighting...readjusted the electrodes. But noticed points are gone

[@mmack3286]

If the ceramic part in electrodes where broken could this be a problem for burner to start?

[@victorboisdenghien361]

tthe most important 5mm measurment you didnt show enough ??? air intake please show starting point how to read the smpke and final adjustment.

[@gregfitts-bc6fs]
