Boiler - Baxi Solo 50 PF - 10 years old
Have experienced intermittent ignition problems with this boiler for some time, and various parts have been replaced, most recently the fan gasket as it had disintegrated.
Present syptoms
When boiler is due to come on get spark, but it takes about 20 before pilot comes on. I have also noticed another small flame just above the pilot flame when the ignition problems exist. Sometimes if I tap the side of the boiler the main burner comes on. It seems that every time the casing is taken off and replaced, the boiler works OK for a while whether anything is done to it or not
Any ideas (pilot assembly has ben recently replaced)
