Last one I saw did that the gas valve was at fault, can wreck the pcb too if short gets violent
it doesnt seem to have a pcb it looks very basic the supply goes to the temp swith then to gas valve

Ceck around the pump and motorised valves for little water leaks that may be dripping into them

i have checked theres no sign of any water
it seems to trip quick if temp is low stays on longer the higher the temp set

Sorry, thinking of newer model......... sounds like the thermostat when its shutting off on temperature

That would tend to suggest gas valve /boiler stat(but thats usually just a switch)
As it is powering on and off more often than if you had it on high
