Hello
I am having trouble with my pilot light in my potterton Flamingo boiler.
A couple of months ago it went out.
A heating engineer eventually got it going properly again by sheer luck, as it fired up just as he was about to give up.
It has worked fine for these last couple of months, but went out again last night.
I can relight it, but it keeps going out again after a while.
To try to avoid another £70 call-out, is there any chance someone could look at the attached picture showing (from left) the thermo, igniter and gas supply.
I am wondering if the area of flame I have added a pointer to is normal. It looks to me like some gas is leaking before it gets up to the igniter.
Is this normal, or could this be my problem?
Cheers.
