I don't think so - the burner is so loud it is hard to tell, but the
pump is not getting real hot, and it is certainly not running on its
own when the boiler is off.

I am guessing relay, bad wire, or the pump itself. Hopefully I will
know soon enough. The tech is supposed to be here by now...

************** IT IS FIXED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
****************

It was the Honeywell Aquastat relay. The elctrical connection to the
pump was dead, so the circ pump never moved the hot water to the hard
to reach radiators. I knew it was the F%$ing circ pump!

The part was covered under my service plan, so I paid nothing, and I
got a hell of an education learning about it. While I asking the tech
all the questions he eventually asked if I wanted a job...

Thanks again guys...I am sure I will have some more stupid questions
going forward, but hopefully not about this again.

Glad it is going again. The problem we have diagnosing over a computer is
not being able to check voltages and stuff that takes only a few minutes
when you are there and see just how it is wired. At least your toes will be
warm in the morning.

I wired a 120v LED across the circ. connections in my aquastat, makes it easy
to see at a glance what's going on.
