hi, i have a reillo 40 burner and i ran out of oil the other day, since then i have taken apart and cleaned all the parts and filters from tank to burner and still wont light.
there is no oil coming out of the pipe going into the burner and i tried sucking only to get a small trickle then it stoped, i tried running it a few times to see if it would draw it down the pipe but still wont come out.
my oil tank is higher than the burner.
please help!.
regards, p.mayne.

hi! and thanks for your answer martin.
i was unsure about tampering with that screw, but will give it a go.
will this screw let oil to be drawn up into the pump?.
regards, paul mayne.

there should be a bleed screw on the oil pump which you need to loosen back until you have oil when it tries to fire but be sure not to take the screw right out. have at hand some rags incase of a spill.
