Thanks for your imput everyone, appreciated.just out of interest whats an explosive ignition :? thanks again janine

to be honest its more of a rattle in the combustion chamber and the flame changes shape and colour, the leak has been left tightened up. still think its a circulation problem? it only does it for a minute. thanks for getting back to me.
