Be interesting to see an old Hotspur Wallflame oil boiler. Not seen one for many years. Totally different from any pressure jet burner. Very quiet running. We once replaced one in Janitor’s house, with a half cased oil boiler. The guy throw away his alarm clock , as the difference in running noise was huge. Woke him very morning! And that was meant to be progress! Aga. Keep it level. And don’t mess with the carb!!!
Very informative . Thank you! A seemingly nothing video, with great gravitas for those of us looking to sleep well at night. Gratis! nothing is truly trivial in actuality. all that is missing is an ability to perceive those infinitesimal parts that make a whole. Detail is the picture. Thank you!
Hi Allen, nice video :) on our age we have a spin wheel valve that sits on a staggered pipe that points towards the carburettor. What is this valve for? I believe it says Kingsman with and arrow that points to the front of the aga, but we can’t seem to fathom what this valve does. It’s unclear whether it raises something or lowers something, but either way we can’t seem to get fuel to the aga.
Hi Allen, great video! We are in the process of moving into a home with a 1960s oil boiler and wondered if you had a contact for Joules who made the video. Thank you so much 👍🏻
interesting video, bit short on detail ie was the vapouriser plate re leveled, leveling screws lubed up with anti sieze etc and was that louvre vent at the bottom of the flue / top of the Aga cleaned out - it looked badly fluffed up.
I was thinking the same, was hot plate lifted and flueways cleaned. Carbon elbow replaced ect. Great pics though. I assume he never showed to much detail to stop others not experience trying it. They not as easy as it looks
@@jasonoliver9549 This was just filmed as a "overview" for the guys that had not seen one before, between doing the service work proper. Rest assured a thorough service job was done and Henry hoover, a 2 way spirit level and a smoke bomb, were all deployed..... ;-) I purposely won't put anything on a public platform that might show a DIYer what to do and you are right with that assumption. BTW: No carbon ellbow on this one ! it's on a more modern deepwell base as a casting inclusion was found in the original shallow DON base, that could have given rise to a nasty vapour leak and they never end well. :-( Take Care.
Hi Allen, pipework behind an oil stove from valve to regulator, behind stove theres a filter and a regulator, with copper compression fittings in awful tight area, but kerosene leak from one of joints, joints seem to be red paste , Question is, Can one Tighten compression fittings with paste already set in these old connection. Thanks
Tank ran out of oil so the following day I had to relight the burner but first took it out and cleaned and replaced the wicks. Levelled it really well and then lit it. Serious fumes coming from the cooker now. Have to open windows. What’s the reason for the fumes? Never done it before?
It's in the wrong hands here, you light it on outer ring and inner ring lights spontaneously at flashover when hot enough, it's not an ashtray for matches 😂
Great video, i often thought about aga, does any one know if there still doing there training course in Telford? Or any other training center that do aga rangemaster? Cheers
If you live in a massive house with 2 40kw boilers as well its all relative and the amount of oil that a Aga consumes compared to running the heating is probably a drop in the ocean or oil field!...... ;-)

I do a lot of oil but not seen a wallflame in 15 yrs :-)
Remember them well and cutting tiny wicks for them.

you should always remember is is the vapour that burns not the liquid the same as petrol

Oil Aga - I meant!

Thank you for taking the time to send a video.
Hi Allen ...we have loads of agas ...ray burns and even Stanley's here in Wales ....great video
Thanks
Thousands up here in the Highlands.
That was very interesting! Thanks 👍
Thanks
Thanks for video, I had a couple of tiny screws on my oil control valve that were loose so I tightened them up😂
Thank You
Hi Allen great job can you add a few tips on starting a plumbing business in one of your next videos please
A dieing art I think this must be. Great video and very interesting.🤘
Thanks

Nice video first like 👍🏻 and comment 💬
Thanks.
Make sure that inner wick catches 😂
Seen a aga lift the hot plate clean out when a customer lit a hot AGA
Thanks
Pre soak new wicks in the fuel you caught in a tub when you changed the filter, helps no end in the flame jumping across to the inner. ;-)
Dangerous bits of kit in the wrong hands

Not that I know of. Thanks.
👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Mum. Thanks.
should be 2 fire valves on an aga vapour appliance
Thanks
And your starter for 10 is.......... What temperature rating should the fire valve on this Aga be?
Julian Hawker I have no idea 😂😂😂
@@AllenHart999 Thats a question for Dean ;-)
Pop quiz: whats the temperature rate of the KBB on this AGA? :-)
They do look lovely but so expensive to run, very heavy on the juice
What boiler do you have 😂
@@AllenHart999 a condensing oil fired boiler 😂 not a vaporising aga , although the Mrs would love one I’m too tight 😂
😂😂😂😂

When oils up in price about £70 a week, it's cheap just now but that's a realistic cost, Rayburn's worse bigger burner.
I do oil Allen. great business in cumbria.
Thanks
That was interesting
Thanks.
It is going to stay on high fire a lot longer than 15 mins
Thank You
👍🤓👍
Thanks
