Advice needed really before fitting a new gas valve. Not come across this fault before.
Called out last night to 30 year old Glowworm Spacesaver 38 B/F GC. 4131531. Pilot had gone out.
As you may know this boiler utilises a Maclaren UK 48 RB gas valve approx 9 years old.
On selecting pilot on the push valve and igniting, the pilot lights a lovely blue enveloping TC. When released the flame doesn't go out, but reduces to a small ball of light on the injector, passing gas valve?
However when in this state and the gas valve knob is turned to ON, the pilot re-establishes. Hmmm.
Now we have a a working pilot, gas valve set to burner ON. When the blr stat is operated the pilot cuts out immediately.
I do suspect the valve myself, anyone had any similar fault?
