It’s very easy to have too much diesel coming into the pot, which causes the yellow flame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haza Posted March 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 hi jen thank you. yes that seems to be the problem .we have tried nearly every thing .the top and the inner casing got red hot it was glowing .could it be the regulator wants resetting not that i now if that is possible ..we have gone by the guide manual to the letter and still no joy ..regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koukouvagia Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 1 hour ago, haza said: we have tried nearly every thing . It's not clear from your description if you have adjusted the high fire screw. Turn the control knob to about 4. If, after a while the flame starts to go yellow, screw in the high fire screw a quarter turn. Leave for ten minutes to see if the new setting stabilises the flame. Continue this process until you have a constant blue flame. You also report that the fire made the inner casing glow red. This usually happens when too much diesel has been allowed into the pot before lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you need to pull the white knob off to adjust it. Tou can Google the PDF manual for ''Toby DVR oil controls''. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizzard Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Its where that little curved arrow is. Take note of the position of the the screw slot position before adjusting it so you can always return it to ''as it was'' if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuthound Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) This document shows the high flame adjustment screw add anything else you need to know about the Toby valve. I found turning the screw 1/8th of a turn at a time and waiting 15 minutes before checking the effect worked for me.

And if there's a pre filter, is it clean and not bunged up with muck. There is a users manual PDF file if you google Reflek Toby DVR, check it out or download it.

baldlimey Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 I'm going tp make what is probably a dumb comment. Make sure the diesel valve is off and even then you will still get a regulators worth of diesel when you unscrew the cover. You will probably have guessed that in advance but.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJM Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 When you are cleaning out the burner pot you need to do this... Take out the catalyser cage. Take a small drill bit or a piece of wire. Reach down to the base of the pot and curl your fingers under the rim. You will find a row of small holes all round the rim - hidden from the eye. Poke each hole clear. You get a better burn when they are clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clean g of the holes and burner pot needs doing evey 500 hours of running, or sooner if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
