eccotemp L5 has no hot water

Subject title says it all,No hot water from my L5 eccotemp . Of course it is Friday and trouble shooting line is closed. Anybody have any ideas? I have a 45psi sur-flo pump so PSI should be no problem. I took the front cover off and the flames are just fine from low to high but no hot water. Going to drive me nuts til Monday unless somebody ran into the same problem. The eccotemp is brand new out of the box Thanks

Try turning water flow down and gas flow up.

I screwed around with it for about 4 hours  It will get hot after about 15sec.(110-120) but I have to have the sink on halfway if I turn the faucet all the way open it never gets hot or warm.

Water is going thought the tank faster than it can be heated! Turn the flow down. Better yet, put an inline orifice in to restrict the flow.

yeppers, your ok it sounds.... that pump is working faster then the heater can..... just turn up the flame, and turn down the flow a bit, like said use a flow restrictor, if you use it after the heater you should be able to leave the flames down a bit
