An occasional problem is that the electrode gap isnt right. Often sorted by bending the plate that holds the flame sensing electrode so that the gap is the same thickness as a £2 coin
Yeah I did slip up there. I got confused with later generation ones which have a seperate flame sensing electrode and these dont have pilots.ricsmit said:If the electrode gap wasnt right surely the pilot would not light. it seems to be the next bit thats not working, that is the main burner wont light because the gas valve wont open for whatever reason. Would go ahead and just put in a new ignition board but worried it might not be the cause.

This involves removing the four screws on the flue elbow in order to turn it. Adjust the position of the APS if necessary to make sure there are no kinks in the sensor pipe.

Has anyone else tried this? Is the end result that the brass connector on the venturi for the red pipe should now face the APS?
Getting desperate!
Thanks in advance, Chris
