I hope

that tanker load of grit did not also stop here in town. I am giving some thought to relocating the filter so we can add a finer secondary and go to flex lines to the Reillos.
Cold out eh?

Bad, How?

How are they "bad" ? Will not pump? Leak? bad cut off? No pressure ? Bad %$#@?? All the same brand? All the same tech? Curious minds want to know ????????????????????

might be a problem this way also --i have went on a few calls of oil leaks -- blown seals this season --yesterday i went to 3 supply houses and they were all out of the Suntec a2va-7116

Maine Ken

The new suntech pumps ..you need to check the pumps

by holding on to the shaft,if the shaft comes out in your hand then YeAh what a wonderful deal....i think they should build them more after the fashion of the older model h and j ..these little pumps are getting one sorta bad these days. i dont do much service work unless i am in the wrong place at the wrong time and someone knows me:) buh i have replaced easily ten times the number of these little suntecs than the older ones. and not only on burners that are old by any strech ....it cant be it was designed to keep my service tools in the truck...........long time ago one would never think of condemming a pump from the get go.......now, well id make that a lot closer to "better check the pump shaft play on Every problem call". oh,....if you even think its water or moisture or ice in the fuel line check the pump...'that is the same type symptom '....'as'....'its the pumpshaft, ! Again!'.of course.

Why don't you guys switch to the a2va-3006 or the beckett cleancut? This is a better setup since either has a solenoid built in.

Maine Ken

Todd,
Do both models require a new primary? Do the solenoids shut the oil off before it can get through a blown shaft seal???

ps all of these pumps were oem.

Here's the lo-down fellas...

as of 27 December 2004:
Suntec has been experiencing major problems supplying fuel units this season.A combination of component shortages and quality problems has created a severe backorder situation for the entire industry.Suntec has not been able to provide estimates of when their shipping problems will improve.(I do not know if this is a steel backlash issue or a sub-vender issue)
Suntec Webster Danfoss
A1VA-7112 / M17DL-6 / 071N1152
A1VC-7114 / M17CL-6 / 071N1158

The cleancut pump does need a delay in the primary. The 3006 is basicly a a2va7116 with a solenoid built in. I don't believe either will protect against a shaft seal leak. I'm sorry to hear of your bad luck. Maybe try a reman from Sids? or a Danfoss?

Maine Ken

Cleaned the local Sids out!! I'm not a fan of the o-ring with the Danfoss.

Thanks.

Ok heres the scoop

Suntec moved facilities brought the old machines that make the pumps but they did not bring the operators(duh)!

The 3006 is your best pump it has two levels of cut out/in protection, traditional cut off and solenoid.( can be used with any primary)

The "cleancut" needs a valve on delay primary or a delay built into the harness of the solenoid. The cleancut has no internal cutoff.

the cleancut pump has its own set of problems w/the solenoids i've had a few that were bad --intermitendly the valve would shut off -those service calls get to be annoying --kinda like the early Carlin primaries-- i've changed more of them then any other

Thursday is

to be warm in the mid 20's and sunny and am taking two divers out for scallops. Hope to get some pictures this trip.

Glad I have two Biasi's and Reillo's. Sometimes redundancy is good???

Ken, I work in southern Maine as an oil tech, for a company that you have heard about. I too, have replaced many more oil pumps than what would be concidered normal. All of these pumps had been in service for 10 or more years. I would guess that I would replace less than a half a dozzen a year. I think that in the last month that I have replaced 6 or 8. I was driving the parts manager nuts for a while. 3 in one day. Keith
