My oil fired boiler has started whistling while running. The
high-pitched whistle starts about 10s after fireing up,


A Mistral Diamond. No idea of age, but instructions dated 2000.


Define "fireing up" do you mean blower starting or when the ignitor
fires to light the boiler some seconds later?


The latter (i.e. after the whumpf - a techincal term).


Is that a Metric whumpf or an Imperial whumpf?
