well after alll that faffing i checked the lateset post aboot the fuel pumpo rotting and lo and behold there was the terminals rusted away. i managed to get the wires back on and hey presto the sodding thing smoked into life.

 

i ran round laughing. then............ after 5 mins of running the thing start poring diesel out of the exhaust pipe not connected at the time so neat fuel puring from the hole. after a while it must flood and shut down. have repeated the start up 5 times with the same end result. so what the cause anyone know ?something that must spray the fuel rather than let it out neat. rang a bloke who does these things up he said the whole burner needs replacing as the thing that sprays fuel is part of it, him want

First stop, check the pump.

There is no point in getting into ripping the heater apart if the pump is running over pressure or something.

It will pump fuel when it tries to start. It is only when it fails to start that the test won't work, and the flame check takes about 90 seconds before it is carried out.
