Riello 40 oil burner not working

RICARDO1982

I have oil fired home heating . The burner stopped working altogether 2 days ago. The interior control panel is lighting up fine, No fuses tripped, The burner outside is not making any noise at all. I pressed the reset button . no change , Removed the panel and checked all connections. plenty of oil left in the tank.... nothing loose or out of place. Any ideas what i should check next, or can anyone recommend someone decent to look at it who wont charge me the heaven and earth

which reset did you press
the red one on the burner or the high limit one beside the thermostat?
is your pump running

The red one on the burner.. no the pump is not working not a dicky bird out of the whole unit altogether

Where exactly is the high limit one located if i am looking straight at it.

beside the knob with the temperature control numbers on it
it may be under a knob which unscrews

turn thermostat down on burner
possibly fit pipestat onto pump that will over run when heating turns off(this will prevent more high limit trips)
