Potterton 80 HW Click

[andybibby]

Hi everyone,

Have used this site before and found it very helpful!

New problem.....

Potterton Puma Combi 80 - when H/W is on (to run a bath) the pilot light clicks and drops very quickly and returns very quickly..... not a problem on the C/H.

Any ideas?

[andybibby]

Ok guys! - Kev, you helped me last time O wise one.....

Can you do the same this time?

 

[baxpoti]

High gas is too high

Thinking aloud!

 

[kevplumb]

High gas is too high

scuse me ohhh great one this is covered in "modulation"

methinks NOT

me is just a raggy pipefitter what the ell do i know

 

[andybibby]

Blimey, I'm glad I aint paying for this! - modulation board can kiss my ass, thats the answer for everything!!

I had a problem with my EV last year and everyone said Modulation Board, Modulation Board! - Kev comes in and advises to re pressure the EV and it sorted the problem!

Now, stop cocking around and help me.......please.

[andybibby]

[kevplumb]
