    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:

Suntec fuel unit

Hey there,

 

I installed new Suntec 7000 series, 3450 RPM, single-stage fuel unit [oil pump] on a Beckett AF oil burner yesterday because of a leak at the shaft seal. I noticed that this new fuel unit seems to make more of a high-pitched gear whine than the Webster pumps I’m used to. It’s not really that loud, but is definitely noticeable, to me anyway, up close to the burner. I’ve checked the alignment and clearance of the blower wheel to the housing and couplings and all seem fine. Is anyone in the forum familiar with this brand? I was wondering if this is just normal for Suntec, or am I likely looking at problems with this unit down the road?

Thanks,

Kyess

Thanks for the reply scottthewolf,

I guess I'll let it go as is. Hopefully it will get quieter as it wears in. Don't want to use any more Suntec.

Regards,

Kyess
