Lochinvar EBN300 boiler continuously cycling on and off

We have a Lochinvar EBN300 boiler which is piped to an Ergomax buffer tank. When the ergomax thermostat calls for heat, the pump pumps water from the tank to the boiler and also trip the tt switch on boiler. I noticed the boiler seemed to be cycling alot. I went downstairs and looked at the temps.
The Ergomax thermostat is set at 160 degrees. The boiler operating temp is set at 180. The Ergomax was calling for heat, and the temp of the water was only 140 degrees. The boiler would come on and gas burner would light. Gas burner would stay on for 10 seconds and shut off. Boiler would go through purge and start right back up again.
I know it can't be wiring of Ergomax to boiler, because when I turn Ergomax thermostat down, everything stops running and boiler shuts off.
Pump is operating as is flow sensor as they will not allow gas burner to light if malfunctioning.
Temp gauges on boiler piping show inlet temp of about 140 and outlet of about 160 when boiler is running.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
Dave
