What I see is that the air intake was completely closed, and the other
air intake openings are very small, so that just seems a little odd.
maybe with a clean nozzle that's OK?

I couldn't follow your post. Did you get a new nozzle? Did they come
out twice? Which time did they put the new nozzle in?

You leave sentences out of your story. Twice, iirc, you say you
called them and you were told things, but you don't say whether they
came out or what they did if they did come out. Very hard to follow..

For example, you didn't even say if they readjusted your electrodes or
if they replaced your nozzle.

Adjusting electrodes is so little work for what they charge for a
service call, I would think they would have replaced the nozzle too
and adjusted the air, although in practice only one guy has ever
adjusted my air. They just look at the flame and figure the
adjustment is ok. (That's why I'm not very happy.)

Maybe someone put a very small
nozzle in this thing, and the air intake really can't be properly
adjusted for that small a nozzle?

I don't have a boiler but I have oil forced air. The plate near the
burner says what sort of nozzle is to be used. The little plastic
container tube says what kind of nozzle was in it (and no one I've
dealt with has taken the tube with him. They just leave it here) and
the nozzle itsself has its spray pattern code embossed dimly on the
side.

Any thoughts out there?
