Burnham 2 started gurgling and water rushing sounds

Hi.

Had a Burnham 2 boiler in the place when we moved in.

Been going good.

But started getting some gurgling and water rushing sounds.

Pictures taken while it was operating.

Did some research don't see any leaks, got the manual but holy cow boilers have a lot of math involved.

I'm pretty handy, i got that way from not being blown up or steam cooked by fiddling with dangerous stuff i don't know enough about.

Thanks!

    You’ve got no pressure on the boiler. It should be a minimum of 12 psi cold for a one story house - 18 psi cold for a three story house.

    You may have a bad fill valve, but even if that’s true, it won’t lose pressure unless there’s a leak(s) on the system.

    How much pressure is now showing on the gauge?
